Restaurant news.

Just found out today from the cashier that Aunt B's will be open New Years Day. I don't have the hours or the menu yet - other than Hoppin' John, for sure. I'll get those to y'all soon as I can. She also says the word is that Matt's Italian Restaurant (where The Sweetest Things was) will be having a trial run this weekend by invitation only. They willl open for regular business on Monday. Oh, and speaking of Aunt B's, while I was in there eating lunch today, three, on-duty, uniformed SMPD officers were sitting at the next table. They took no notice of me or my ostensibly ominous, black,"man purse." I guess that they did not get the memo that they are supposed to be "watching" me - a menace to society!
