It's called, "You say Tomato," as in the old song, which is a perfect name, because it's in a downtown, really mixed community. Mixed racially, economically, the whole bag. They have GREAT food and a wonderful atmosphere. Maybe we should go there when you come to town.<BR/><BR/>And I ate so late. . .love that. . .'cause I've been going to the services at the downtown Tibetan Buddhist Temple. Not because I'm becomming a Buddhist--I don't want to be "a" anything--but because Buddhism is so damned helpful and practical in its psychology, etc. I learn so much from them about how to be a better human! I'm thinking of visiting the Quakers next, to squeeze whatever I can out of that tradition, too. :)Nancy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429062957063032872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004909290975090333.post-13460320211488437492008-01-06T14:26:00.000-06:002008-01-06T14:26:00.000-06:00Hi all.
