I felt a rumbly in my tumbly

Last night I got the Call from K-Y, she started the call by saying "Guess Where I Am?" I already knew, the same way a Mother knows when their child is in danger, the same way salmon a instinctively returns to its place of birth... She was at the newly openedSuddenly, I was gripped by the yearning, gnawing hunger that nothing else can satisfy...I needed

All day long the hunger remained, slowly my insides were chewing on themselves. At one point in the day I asked Sarah about going, but we decided that we should just stick to the menu on out menu board, because we'd be able to go later in the week, however as we tried to pin down exactly when "later" would be we were unable to do so.

On the Drive home I could no longer silence the desire, so I called Sarah, only to receive her voicemail, I left a desperate message for her not to start dinner...because we had OTHER plans...after a few minutes and no response from her I became desperate to contact her, because once dinner was started there would be NO turning back. I grabbed my phone and dialed again, thinking the worst when like music to my ears I heard "What do you want you ignoramus?!" which is of course my lovely wife's way of saying "Hello Dear, I've missed the sound of your voice."
With my voice cracking I gasped out "Have you started dinner?" Suddenly there was an uncomfortable silence...a silence that would imply...the worst. The knots in my stomach were twisting with every passing nanosecond when in response I heard these delicious words "Not yet" Oh the Joy the filled my soul at that moment, there have been tales written of express joy, joy that cannot be put into words, never before have I experienced that Joy, but tonight I did.

I said "Honey, put on your going out clothes, Dinner's on me tonight! and what the HECK, Let's bring the Kids!"Once I got home we gathered up the little urchins and made our way over to Mandarin where the Chipotle had finally opened. We walked inside to the familiar smell of home, and cilantro lime rice. Of course the line was too long, the workers inept, the salsa sparingly added, but we FINALLY have a Chipotle here in Jax...it's been 6 years since I've had one within the city where I lived, and that's just too long to go without this delectable delicacy.

The nice thing about tonight was as we were standing in line I saw a couple we knew a little ahead of us, and then I felt a tap on the shoulder, and there stood the Richards (she's also from Colorado) so we all sat together and ate, unfortunately we had to boogie early, as we've got a concert to head to, which is where I am now going, Goodnight, and enjoy more pics of us stuffing our faces with excellent food!
