Hi Janis,

 JK> You're lucky then :)  I'm still smoking but I can hold out for days if
 JK> I have to <grin>.. Last year, I fell and broke a rib and punctured a
 JK> lung (boy did that hurt <grin>). I was in the hospital for 5 days, and
 JK> that was it.. couldn't smoke... after I got home, it was maybe two
 JK> weeks til I started again. I'll try again someday.

I've never smoked but have bad lungs from asthma. Last year on our way
home from the picnic, we stopped at an Applebee's in Virginia for lunch.
We're so used to non smoking places we forgot to specify "non smoking
area" and got seated in the smoking part.  We did get moved but the
smoking area was big enough that we still got the drift of some smokers.
Chalked that up as a lesson to make sure the non smoking area is well
separated from the smoking one in any place we eat.  It was better than
the one time in AZ where the place tried seating us in the non smoking
area--about 3 feet with no divider whatsoever from the smoking area.
That was one place we walked out on.

Sounds nice. There's one little Korean place in Savannah; we've yet to
get over there when they're open--maybe this week end?  We miss the
little hole in the wall Korean places that were everywhere in HI; got
lots of good food without breaking the budget.

 JK> We ate at a japanese restaurant night before last, it was great.  They
 JK> serve sushi and other standard japanese dishes.  I wasn't in the mood
 JK> for sushi so I got Shrimp Tempura.  Ron got Udon noodles and soup with
 JK> an amazing amount of seafood in the soup <grin>.  They give you so
 JK> much to eat at this restaurant I always end up taking some home for
 JK> lunch the next day :)  My Shrimp Tempura had about 6 gigantic Shrimp,
 JK> several slices of tempura vegetables like sweet potatoes, zucchini,
 JK> and onions... Yummy :)

Sounds interesting. There's an Asian super buffet near us we've gone to
from time to time. Lots of nice choices but, since it's a buffet, no
take homes.
