Fire Drill

Today at work we had an evacuation drill. Right around 1:30, the fire alarm went off. Usually people take their time getting outside, but today I was out of my office like a shot. And when I got outside, there was a much larger crowd than usual in the parking lot. I guess everyone is taking safety more seriously these days.

I am excited today because Mr. Yale Reader (aka Dave, one of my regular readers and e-mail correspondents) sent me a bunch of restaurant recommendations for New Haven and the surrounding area. I am excited just looking down the list. I can't wait to try out some of these places. Maybe when Maria comes to visit next week.

Dinner last night was excellent, as dinner at Consiglio's always is. I had the penne vodka, which some folks will be surprised to learn I'd never tried there before (seeing as it's my favorite pasta dish and all). They do a very nice job with it there. Clarissa had lobster ravioli, and we split a tartuffo for dessert. A most enjoyable meal.
