Then, I don't think it is the same place. I'm not sure where Giordanos is along Randall Rd. Is it near an intersection with another road ... or in the middle of a strip mall area?

I think we all lose sight of what is important every now'n'then. I know I do. And, that really frustrates me when I do. I always think, 'OK, learned that lesson, won't let that happen again.'
