bad news travels fast.....

ok, so the big news in the danville restaurant millieu was about freddie's......whose female owner has filed a restraining order against her spouse/erstwhile partner.....and has moved to arizona with her child to live out her days........she has an inoperable tumor on her heart, and has not been given much hope since she returned from the mayo clinic.......since she is credited as being the brains behind that operation........not much hope is given to this classic downtown danville eatery.........which still has those lovely chrome pedastal seats in front of the counter........i am putting together a book of digital photos/recipes/serving descriptions for my partner...for him to use spring break, and in case i am ever hit by a bus..........i have only missed 3-4 days in 4 years of operation..........my travels have been while we have been while wew were closed................so i must prepare for the worst case scenario.....that he must make the quiches/crepes/chicken artichoke pies.........etc.................speaking of travels....i am livid that my return trip from france on air france did not yield any delta airmiles............i thought they were partners...........of course, this return flight was ever so much more pleasant than delta would have been..it was an airbus plane with in-seat video...i watched 3 marvelous films...including the quiet american with brendan frasier that is on my book club list..........now i will not bother to read the book because i haven't the time and the film was so good.........not that the flight was worth 4500 or so airmiles.......i am close to another free trip.....and this is a major set-back..................
