I had lunch with dear friends at my favorite Chinese restaurant, Yum-Yum Good. (The name alone is worth a visit.) When I opened my fortune cookie, I felt totally cheated. First of all, this is a statement, not a fortune. Second, the weather was cold, windy and cloudy, not wonderful at all. Our waitress took pity on me and gave me another cookie, but I'm afraid the quality of fortunes in general seems to be deteriorating. Happily, lunch with my friends was my good fortune.
