Leah: He was MOVING AROUND THE RESTAURANT, serenading us all. The karaoke master introduced him as an “avid fan who follows him around,” and I guess it’s a song he sings often and doesn’t feel he needs the words anymore. OH HE DOES.

How does one lose track of the words during karaoke? There’s a reason they’re on screen and pointed out by the bouncing ball. I’m baffled.

Mike’s gives you (and Sadie) heartburn, too? I thought I was the only one because I have GERD. Which is just a weird word, if you ask me, the GERD. It sounds like I drank bad milk and it’s in my stomach curdling and causing me problems that equate to heartburn. ??? Okay, bad tangent. Sorry.

The only time I’ve ever enjoyed dinnertime entertainment was when we were in Disney at the Morroccan restaurant. There was a bit of squeamishness at the dancer (belly dancer, but she was freakishly talented). I was fascinated by how she danced. It did make the meal memorable, except I can’t remember what I ate, which makes me wonder if my enjoying the dancing was really worth it considering I probably paid something exorbitant and can’t remember what it was. At least at the California Grill in the Contemporary Hotel, I paid $50 for a steak but I know that was the best steak I’ve ever eaten. I remember every bite of that steak because there were no entertainment distractions. Just good company and a fantastic view, along with the best steak I’ve ever had.

I wholeheartedly agree with Suebob. I can never look those people in the eye for fear of encouraging them. But i never want them to feel bad either, so its kind of a lose/lose situation.

SueBob, if you are not already spoken for, I would like to marry you please.

And YES! why DO Mike’s Hard Lemonades cause such ferocious heartburn?! Frankly I am glad you helped rid the world of at least six bottles of that noxious stuff.

Oh good lord. One of my life rules is that Food and Entertainment should be firmly and completely separated. Belly dancers. Greek dancing waiters. Mariachis. I am having none of it. I end up with this stupid frozen half-smile on my face, embarrassed at the spectacle but not wanting to hurt their feelings but not wanting to encourage them, either, lest they loom, and mainly just wishing I could get back to my ravioli and conversation and MAKE IT STOP, NOW, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, which includes paying $25 for someone else to make me dinner.
