Mounds and Mounds of "Chinese" Food

More cleaning for a showing in the evening, and an afternoon of editing. To avoid hanging out with the house-lookers, we took the kids to dinner at a Chinese Buffet, which (is it my imagination, or do they really...?) seems more and more akin (particularly in the consumer base) to Old Country Buffet, the Golden Corral and (here's a real throw-back) Duffs; after the gorging we met the Everetts for Ros and a months-worth of catching up - between the two families there had been Alaska, Camp in PA, Canada, Michigan & Chicago adventures to recount.
