So what does the hand gesture look like that accompanies that phrase.
I know it's similar to Spock's live long and prosper, but it's not quite the same.
The answer is driving me crazy.
I even looked it up online. All references describe the hand gesture as similar to Spock's.
Anybody remember? If not, I've got the first DVD of season 1 showing up on my doorstep this week.
I can't believe I can't remember. I keep thinking that I'll be washing dishes and suddenly figure it out, but so far nada.

Saturday I wanted seafood. Which meant I had to find a seafood place. This is an almost impossible task because I didn't want frou-frou seafood and had no desire to be disappointed in a meal. So I went to my trusty Google and found Quinn's Lighthouse Restaurant & Pub. After reading many reviews on this place as well as several others, I decided that this one was a winner.

Let me say that we got lost on the way to the restaurant. Mapquest doesn't understand that the Embarcadero is not marked going south on I-880. We arrived at the restaurant which was busy, but not too crowded. We were seated pretty much immediately and the waitress got off to a great start by bringing water and going down the list of specials.

The menu is great for landlubbers and seafood-lubbers. And the beer! Oh, my! The beer menu is huge. It has all the standards plus a large selection of German beers. I thought that I had died and gone to heaven when Ronette discovered Kölsch in the list. We ordered way too much food and the Kölsch (calamari, fish & chips, Belgian style mussels).

One sip of the Kölsch and I was back in Cologne with the little German man delivering beer that he carried from table to table in a carrier that looked like it had been snitched from the milk man. Good stuff, good stuff. The food was just as yummy. Some of the best calamari that I've had. (I still think Bambino's in Cole Valley has the best.) Good fish and the mussels were yumbilicious.

Go to Quinn's for the food. Go to Quinn's for the price. It was fairly cheap compared to what we've paid at some of these frou-frou places. I'm sad that it took us this long to find the place.


Oh yeah, and I got carded too! I was a little taken aback when she asked to see my ID. I look young, but I didn't think I looked that young. It must be the Youthful Essence.

Drilling holes with the drill will go much faster and be a lot easier if you don't have the drill in reverse.
