Hmmm,

Given that time will be on our side (compared to a Friday evening), fast
food certainly isn't a requirement.

Hmmm... good chinese restaurants in the area...I know a fairly good Thai
restaurant (again at Alta Vista and Bank), and there is a Cathay
something or other somewhere on St. Laurent I believe. But my
impression of them (there used to be one around the corner) (well around
the corner and down the street) was pretty average. There is a Hooters
on St-L. (which my wife mentioned - incidentally her name is Chris so
I'll stop using that term from now on - mentioned, though she isn't
willing to stand behind it as a suggestion). There is also a Texas
Steak Co. on St-L, though I recall not being impressed. There is a
Robbie's Italian restaurant too - I've either been to it or to a
Robbie's Spaghetti House (on Walkley) and it was pretty good.

For chinese we tend to get take out (we're a little bit west of the
museum's neighbourhood) from the Penan Wok on Bank (just south of the
canal) which is generally pretty good... ummm, how many oafs are going
to meet for dinner? And do any of them have problems with large,
friendly (but not a jumper) dogs (just the one)? Or issues with eating
from their laps (well, maybe plates could be found, but the plates would
be on your knees - or we could use the dining room, but really take-out
chinese doesn't seem appropriate somehow in the dining room)? And will
Chris actually let me make the implied invite???? (Seriously, I would
expect her to).

And we are 5-10 minutes drive from the Museum, which isn't really close
(or really far). And we do have control over music or video selections,
though I'm not sure about putting in Life of Brian with the kids
around...Apollo 13 perhaps?

On the other hand, the Pizza Hut at Industrial and St.L bears little
resemblance to *fast* food - others could debate about the "food" part
but that's not what I'm getting at... I believe there is a Milano's in
the area too.

I guess on the opposite side of the museum from us, there is the
Mandarin Ogilvie (which may have had some sort of issue with an
inspection, or maybe it was just a reviewer a couple of years ago - but
they certainly had a lot of loyal fans as well).

Anyone else with thoughts? I realize it is monday (and after the time
change and everything) so having thoughts may be a lot to ask, but look
at all I've typed without the benefit of thoughts...
