Hope she gets better today.
I agree with you about dining out. I rather enjoy going to the movies, visiting an expo or just get lost in areas of the city we have not been before.
With all the regulatory requirements and costs, managing a restaurant is not easy and it is almost impossible to find any with a good quality/price ratio.
Doing stuff is far better. Even sitting in a bar playing cards with a glass of wine would be enough for me. The meals just aren't worth it anymore.
