Today my loving spouse and I went on an "outing." We found a place that had the H1N1 (swine flu) vaccines today between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, so we made a date. Ever since my days at the American Diabetes Association, I have been a big believer in flu vaccines. It turns out that people with certain diseases or ailments (like diabetes) and the elderly are at greater risk of death due to flu & pneumonia, and I figured even if they weren't going to get flu shots, at least I could do my part in trying not to kill them. Just to liven things up and make us NOT the most boring couple in the universe, we decided to incorporate lunch into our date. I don't care how in love you are--I don't think being jabbed with needles makes a romantic outing.
Luckily, the store with the flu shots shares a parking lot with, among other things, a "Mongolian barbecue" type of restaurant, and we think it might be one of the few places we can go that would be "legal." So we had lunch (no noodles), and the waitress brought our check with two fortune cookies. Andy promptly downed part of his before I lovingly reminded him that it was "illegal." Rather than just eat the rest of the cookie and count it as a cheat, he says he has used 1/4 of a cheat.
Glad he didn't come up with that one earlier--I would have been dissecting Reese's peanut butter cups all year......
