thanks ajk for organizing the nc is leaving/epn early b-day gathering. the restaurant choice was ok (greek), but the service was all bad. apparently the waiter sneered because nobody order wine with their meal. then it went especially downhill when ma asked if we could break plates in celebration. i think that was a legitimate question, since we all saw that in "my big fat greek wedding".

as for nc leaving, i'm going to start a count - the number of my friends/aquaintances contributing to the canadian brian drain by moving to the united states. so far: 6
