Restaurant

We went to a new restaurant tonight.

There had been another restaurant there for years, but a month or two ago I noticed that it was gone; the new restaurant was an ice-cream stand plus (apparently) a restaurant. We ate there tonight, and I was so pleased at the experience that I went over to Yelp. They didn't have a listing for the new restaurant, so I marked that the old one was closed, and added the details for the new one. I also wrote an extensive review of the new place.

And when I clicked on "Submit", goddamn Yelp told me that the restaurant had already been added - and showed me the listing for the OLD restaurant! Maybe the problem was that they had the same address. But what really pissed me off was that they apparently deleted the review, too.

But this isn't my first time around the block. I saved it before submitting.

I wrote to Yelp support. We'll see what happens.

Sebastian

Sebastian is about to lose his first molar. Tonight it reached the stage where it was only hanging on by a scrap of skin, and he got really scared. It broke my heart to see his face covered with tears. He sounded like he did when he was a baby: "I'm scared! I'm scared!"

It took a while, but we managed to calm him down. Then I took him in the den and we watched some funny videos on YouTube. He was laughing his head off in no time. Then I tucked him in, read to him from the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings, and he was asleep within ten minutes.
