It's certainly no Ansel Adams shot, but what're ya gonna do when you're exiting a sushi bar and happen to see this while in the parking lot. Gawd I love Canon Digital Elphs, how convenient.

Pretty...you had to be there

Funny side story though, my friend treated me to dinner because she just got engaged (I'd already taken her out for a congrats dinner) and a fat check from the retirement fund from her old job. A waitress there (not ours, sadly) was really really cute....so as we leave I use the restroom...and my friend proceeds to tell the waitress that I thought she was attractive. The girl said she was flattered and didn't get that alot (probably because it's a sushi bar and most of the clientelle was quite older). Then the bartender comes out and says "She knows how I feel about her" in a french accent....'cause, you know, he's French. Then he says some stuff in french making the waitress go: ":roll: I don't understand french."

I come out, my friend belts out: "Hey! Get over here, I just told the waitress you thought she was cute!" Embarassed? Nah, I don't know any of these people, who gives a sh!t. So I introduce myself, curious about why the bartender is absolutely glaring at me (friend tells me the story later). But yeah, she was receptive. I think I'll go back for another drink in a few days when I have time.

Asinine story, sorry, but it sure was damn funny to us as we left....again, you probably had to be there.

Cliffnotes:
- Using resteraunt's bathroom before leaving
- Friend tells cute waitress that I thought so, as an attempt to embarrass me/put me on the spot, but also to be goose to my maverick
- Waitress is receptive, French guy hates me.

Nice pic. I took a few of the sun setting when we took our cruise, it was beautiful, but I took crappy pics.

Denver was great for the 3 years I lived there, Aurora to be exact. Now I have to deal with crazy humidity and constant rain showers but all the green sure is nice and the curvy roads through the forest.

Nice pic...Where is the restaurant? I am asking since the one I went to on Colorado & Evens closed/changed owners and have been trying to find a good sushi place.

Opal's at 9th & Lincoln. Definitely NOT cheap, but the grub was good and they have 2-for-1 happy hour specials.
