I see from AT&T that you have activated your new phone (which implies that it arrived intact). Hope you enjoy it and it works well for you. Michael's has also arrived, but he is out of town so it is still in its "some assembly required" state. I'm excited to try the Chateau De Pere tonight, a new discovery on Living Social. We had planned to do the overnight at St Brendan's in Green Bay and drive to Door Co tomorrow just to get there once in the summer, but then this special came up just before I made the reservations. We get the room and breakfast with a bottle of champagne for $89.99 and it includes a $25 voucher to their French restaurant for dinner. In poking around the Internet last night, I discovered that Green Bay is in the midst of their first-ever restaurant week and our restaurant is participating so we should get an excellent meal. I'm hoping they put forth their very best for the first effort at restaurant week. I had felt a little badly about missing out on St Brendan's as I enjoy their food and their patio in summer, but they are also participating for lunch and have an excellent menu (with some of our favorite desserts!). I also discovered an excellent European bakery in De Pere that appears quite close to our hotel, so after our breakfast, we will walk around downtown De Pere for a bit, stock up on some good bakery to bring home, and maybe drive into Green Bay and cruise their Farmer's Market which should be in full swing by now. St Brendan's opens for lunch at 11:30, so we will have an early lunch and then drive to Door Co for the afternoon/evening. Weather is supposed to be good, so it should be good times. I swatted a quite large centipede on the wall with the flyswatter, but he didn't look dead so I flicked him, intending to stomp on him to finish the deed. He got caught in a spider web on the way down, so I may have given the spider a feast. I don't think he was initially dead, but he was thoroughly caught and looked dried up by the time I finished my exercise.
