“And here is your table.”
“Thank you.”
“Are you satisfied with the white linen,
or would you prefer to have black linen?”
“I'm sorry, what?”
“Would you prefer the white linen or the black linen?”
“White … black … ? Um … ”
“The white linen is fine.”
“Thank you. Enjoy your meal.”
“What was that all about?”
“The napkins.
They wanted to know if we prefered using white or black napkins.”
“But why?”
“In case the white napkins clashed with our clothing.”
“I've never encountered anything like that before.”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
