Page 123

Since I need to fill this baby up, I'm resorting to responding to meme-tagging. Thanks (or not) to Ed Kohler, I give you the 123 meme.

Instructions!

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

I started to do this at work. The only thing on my desk at work that's over 123 pages and not confidential is Validation Fundamentals and page 123 is actually an outline with no complete sentences in it so Lucky You.

So now that I'm at home, the nearest book is Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, which I am not reading but which M™ borrowed from the library.

Nearly a week later: They've brought in a polka band to play in the dining room of the "Mexican"-themed restaurant at Le Royale. Outside, on the pool deck, though the bar is unattended, where the bottles were they keep the radio cranked up to drown out the sounds of bombing--so as not to scare the kiddies. These days, we wake up to molar-vibrating percussions and go to sleep to distant thunder.

Some shit was going down in Beirut.
