Lunch Break Break, Twinners, Birthdays

Lunch Break will return next week. We've been entertaining out-of-town visitors this week, and today Lara is off to California for business meetings (I would be very jealous, except the weather suddenly turned amazing here).

And one surprising discovery. I googled "Elliott and Lara" (in quotes) a couple days back (out of vanity and to see which blogs were giving us the link love), and I learned...that another Elliott and Lara are getting married this August! Congratulations guys! (And nice kitchenware choices!) [1,2]

Also: This Sunday is Lara's birthday! (My Lara, not the newly discovered Lara.) Feel free to leave her a comment here or send her an email (her private address is best, but for the uninitiated, elliottandlara@gmail.com will work fine).

[1] To my knowledge, this makes only two so-named couples in the world (the internet world, at least). The only other interesting pairing of these two distinguished names and spellings comes from a 1986 New York Times piece. The subject of the article is a woman with the last name of Lara, and her interviewer's first name is Elliott—which is cool but not THAT cool, except for the fact that Ms. Lara may be a CUBAN SPY (!!!).
