I eat out a lot. I probably eat in more restaurants each month now than I did in my first 21 years combined. Luckily DC has a lot of good options. The Chinese restaurants aren't my favorite -- I find that Chinese food is consistently mediocre -- but I do like the fortune cookies. It's nice to get a good chuckle and a semi-sweet treat at the end of a meal. Here are some of the fortunes I've opened recently:
- Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest. [Not buying it; in the beginning I was a kid.]
- Someone is speaking well of you. [Someone is wrong.]
- You will be showered with good luck. [I got this one twice. Anyone who knows me should be laughing hysterically.]
- You will never need to worry about a steady income. [Suzanne rejoices.]
- You will step on the soil of many countries. [Yes, to get from the airport to the conference room.]
- You will be singled out for a promotion. [Since my firm has lockstep compensation, this must be talking about moving up from bathroom duty to kitchen duty at home.]
- You are broad minded and socially active. [Stop laughing.]
- You and your wife will be happy in your life together. [So true, though this is just stating the obvious considering I'm married to Suzy.]
