[Vision2020] Safe Lefty's

Sat Apr 26 00:17:54 PDT 2008

Paul,

  Do you know how many calories are in a shake? Everyday, you would have to eat nothing else. LOL. I don't think they are thinking when they suggested a prize be to eat there everyday. They better keep an AED next to the winner's seat. 

  Best Regards,

  Donovan

  Yeah, I'm kind of wondering what I'll do if I win it. I could go for the 
once a week bit, though. It would be a great place to have lunch every 
Friday or something. Maybe I could just get a shake every day on the way 
home or something.
