magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

worked for a couple of hours this morning. then to the airport to pick my dad up. we had thai food for lunch. and then i showed him around risd and some of the rest of providence.

on the way back towards my place he asked, "is there an irish pub around here? i could go for a guiness."

"there's one that i know of, near where stef works, but it's all the way back in the opposite direction."

"well, we could drive back down there a little later."

and that's what we ended up doing, although i was pretty sure that there wouldn't be any parking right nearby. so i drove a little further and parked near india, where i thought we could get dinner.

we walked back over to ri-ra, talking about providence, and our indicted mayor. pointed out the union station brewery, "that's where stef works." walked past the capitol grill, "there's our mayor right there, sitting at that table by himself."

we had three or four drinks at ri-ra. then back over to india, the food is always pretty good there, but was probably the best i've had it. and then home.
