assorted tired updates

[flea]

Dillo was up for the day at 5:10 this AM. Evil little rascal. I am so tired and it is only Tuesday.

We are planning a family (flea family plus Mother and her husband) visit to Athens for somewhere in the window of the 21st-26th. Wish us luck. There is a lot yet to be done.

Piedmont last night was a bit disappointing. We were seated upstairs, and it got very hot by the time we left, and my entree was kind of blah. I got the tagliatelle with shrimp and prosciutto in a tomato and white wine sauce, and the proscuitto made it very salty, and the tagliatelle were fresh and thin and floppy, whereas I like my pasta with a little more heft and bite. Ah well.

Tonight is Four Square. I've never been there. They have outdoor seating but I am not sure it's warm enough. Menu: http://www.foursquarerestaurant.com/menu.asp

I am thinking about the baby beet and wax bean salad, and the scallops, rice croquettes, or tenderloin for the entree. I realize, looking that the choices, that I actually like fairly plain food. These all seem sort of exhausting.

Question: if you had to choose between a banker mortgage where you liked the person and the fact that there's an actual bank involved, but the rate was higher, or a broker mortgage, where the guy was kind of annoying but the rate was better, which would you choose? I mean, you kind of have to choose the best rate, right? Since it's like, one zillion dollars in interest over the course of the loan, and even a variation of .02% is lots of money. Sigh. I really like the banker woman and I want to tell mortgage guy to eat me.

I got my mortgage on the internet. The original was through Quicken, but I had trouble finding what I needed from them (I forget what or why, but there was an issue) when I went to refinance, so I did that through through e-loan. I was very happy with them.
