Dragged in late from work last night. Still too tired from the play performance Monday night to cook. Called and ordered Chinese take-out. When I went to pick it up, realized I had ordered chicken fried rice, which I always get...and shrimp egg foo young...what I always ordered for Lionel. Ate some of it anyway, thinking about him.
I am reminded. Earlier this year stopped by the same neighborhood Chinese take out restaurant and ordered what I always order to take out for myself, Chicken fried rice. The woman at the counter who is apparently used to me being a creature of habit and always ordering the same thing, immediately asked: "No Shrimp Egg Foo Young for your friend?"
I just said "Not tonight." And turned away quickly, before she could see the tears welling in my eyes.
