Chipotle

So I sent a letter to my fave food store Chipotle a few weeks ago complaining that their new Flash 9 Web site is impossible to use if you don't have a really up to date computer, limiting use from your Palm or other interfaces and got a response back. If you agree, the e-mail addresses are below.

Comments: I love you guys, but this Web site is for the birds. Requiring Flash 9 just to look up a location without an option for non-Flash is really limiting. I wanted to find a neutral locale to meet a friend and had to beg my IT guy at work (and confess my non-work use) to install Flash 9 just so I could look up a location. I would suggest having some more basic interface for those
of us on older computers or with less cool tech support.

Happy birthday to me

Today was the big day. It was two years ago in the evening (I would say 10:30 p.m., but at this point, I've chosen to forget what a looong day that was) Byron Andrew was born. Whenever I say anything about how cute he was as a tiny baby, Bjorn reminds me how bad labor and delivery was. I really can't believe it's been two years. In some ways, I still feel like a rookie in this business. Other days, I can't believe I didn't have him with me.

We had a busy day today. We opened a couple presents this morning then I came over at lunch and brought cupcakes for his class. There are only three of them (including Andy) right now and so it was an intimate group. I like that. His babysitter was so sweet and gave him a cash register (complete with faux money), a hat and some mittens. After school, we met Bjorn at Chipotle, our favorite, for dinner. He even picked up a balloon from Tree Top where I had to restrain myself from buying more train stuff. It may be for Andy, but man, I like it too. As a kid, we used to play with the Brio train set at Neiman Marcus. I don't remember my mother ever actually buying anything at Neiman's, but I sure remember that train set.
