Second Best

If there were a branch of my favorite coffee franchise downtown, I might go there every day. As it is, I visit its runner-up on occasion, since it’s right across the street from my work.

Aaron at Saigon Garden, Ann Arbor

To celebrate Aaron’s 35th birthday last month, we drove up to Ann Arbor for dinner. There are (at least) two kinds of cuisine there that we can’t get in Toledo: Vietnamese and Ethiopian. Aaron chose Vietnamese.

As an aside: As we were driving from the highway to campus, a carload of college guys pulled up behind us and saw the Trek fish on our car (it’s like a Jesus or Darwin fish, but it says Trek… and has nacelles like the Enterprise). These guys loved it so much, they took cameraphone pictures of it, and were embarrassed/geeked when Aaron flashed them the Vulcan salute.
