My dad and I went to Skyline Restaurant in Portland. It’s a fairly famous hamburger shop that had the admiration of food critic James Beard amongst others. I’ve been going there for over 30 years. Well, the first thing I noticed was that the fries and ketchup were different. Not bad, just different. My burger wasn’t as good as usual, and my dad’s chicken burger was tasteless.The waitress made herself scarce, too. We waited 30 minutes for the check and had to have them search for it.

Like I said, though, it wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t as good. Small disappointments.

So I pulled out an 80’s green shirt to wear as protective coloration today and nobody else was really wearing them. Even got pinched by a guy I don’t know. Whatever.
