Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for November 03, 2020

And the hardest part is that no matter how nice the place you find, chances are your parent will hate it. But good wishes for it to work out.

‘Gauche’? Amanda speaks French? Or is simply cultured enough to know the term? I’m proud of her either way.

Amanda, technically Halloween is over but the spooky-ness lingers. Waiting for an appointment yesterday, several times I saw you ushering patients in. First sighting was from the back. Next was from on front. Same everything about her including your glasses. Long wait in the reception room, but entertaining. It was fun seeing your doppelgänger.

Awwww, Dan! It’s a hard thing you are doing, but thankfully , there is ice cream!

very touching

It’s unfortunate that when we go to a “big city”, we still want to go to familiar brand names rather than try local places.

If you don’t want to be surprised (either positively or negatively) go to one of the national chains like IHOP or Denney’s. If you’re culinarily adventuresome find where the locals eat and go there.

Dan is right. You are a class act, Amanda. (No sarcasm attached.)

Best of luck with your father in law. Ice scream is always a good idea.

The first thing on your list should always be ice cream, doughnuts and coffee. You don’t need a second thing.

That couldn’t have been an easy experience for anyone involved. I’m glad to hear the people at the place he went to liked him.
