I think I've mentioned before that my Mom does crafty type stuff. Quilts, wall hangings, that sort of thing. She asked me if I would help her make a website to show her stuff off on and I said I'd see what I could do. As part of that, I went out to dinner with my parents last night to discuss a little bit more about what she wanted.

We went to a local place, The Soda Fountain. It's a 1950s themed establishment…oldies playing, checkered floor and poodle skirts. It was interesting…

The food was good, but as I found out my parents seem to enjoy going there because you never quite know what's going to happen regarding the service. And this time it was my turn it seems. I got a milkshake which was tasty, except for the bug that got caught up in it during production. Which happens sometimes, so no big deal, but it was another new thing to add to the list of stuff that happened.

Then, while we were eating, the manager/owner guy wandered over and just randomly said "So where do you think our next location in north utica should be??" We all just sorta stared at him until the woman at the next table spoke up and said she was the one who had a suggestion. Seems the waitress sent him over to the wrong table. Then the lady decided she wanted to engage us in conversation about how more of these places will get the young people to recognize that the old music was really good and start listening to it instead of what they listen to now. I told her I wouldn't count on that happening…

Anyway…strange dinner. Very strange.
