The Zombies and no dessert

Going to restaurants has be a bit of a conflicted event recently. I take the view that going out is a good time to treat myself to things I want and to celebrate with some abandon. Well, when I go out to eat I usually order dessert - last night I didn't! A very dear Scottish friend of mine had an extra ticket to hear The Zombies at City Winery last night - his treat - except for a round of beers. I had a great night singing along to great 60's hits and reveling in music I love but didn't have a chance to grow up with because I just born to late. Thank heavens for older brothers who had LPs in the house that I could listen to - oh the Apple Records - Beatles album that a very young Carolyn put crayon on - much to the chagrin of my older brother. But back to last night. I did have a great burger with toppings and beer - which do have their calories. The small victory for me last night was not ordering dessert. We will tackle burgers and beer another time. And the music was wonderful and such a great treat. PS - boy coffee can work wonders on grey rainy days and after being out until the wee hours the night before - I don't generally drink coffee, but some days I just need that extra little lift to my day.....
