[lbo-talk] recession severity

[John Thornton]

It's always during my birthday (Jan 12) so I get my friends to treat me 
to dinner at the Blue Nile while we're up there.
I much preferred the older location in Greek Town to it's Ferndale home.
The first time we went there I had a friend who was shocked that no 
silverware was offered. He insisted on having some type of eating 
utensil so they brought him a large serving spoon from the kitchen. Most 
of the staff came out to see the waitress present him with the spoon.
I didn't make it this year unfortunately due to illness. Not mine but 
two of my regular traveling companions.
Too bad since Chinese manufacturers were there this year and I would 
have loved to see their stuff.
