Last Night in Javea

  • Beth and I enjoyed a delightful dinner.

  • Highlight: A massive t-bone steak.

  • Reflection: Both agreed that the one time we find ourselves reminiscing about alcohol is over a steak dinner. Since steak is a rare indulgence in our diet, it's more of a fleeting thought than a real issue.
