baby right round, like a record. Yes, we did a record number last night. We broke the glass ceiling of 200 covers, which for some restaurants would be a mighty slow night, but for us up here in the boonies is pretty damned good. They were streaming in from 5pm on. We might have done more but 20 seats were taken up all night with a 7 course, fixed price special event.
Update on our farmer friend. He got out of surgery in Stanford early yesterday morning. They were able to implant the index finger he severed completely and reattach the others. At that point he had a pulse in the index finger and was able to move it slightly. The next few days will tell whether his body will accept the surgery. But it sounds pretty hopeful to me.
That's quite a record! Congratulations.
I'm also glad to hear that your farmer friend is doing well. For those of us who work with our hands, there is nothing more terrible and sobering than pondering what could happen...
