While this is advice that applies to life every day, Yale Dining just sent an email informing us that “due to a flood from an outside source that affected the Saybrook dining hall servery, Saybrook will not be open for dinner tonight.”

Thoughts:

• They could have just let us in Saybrook anyway. Last time I went there, I had soggy carrots and soggy orzo. Does a little more flooding make a difference?
• Saybrook is landlocked. It’s like how Captain Von Trapp is a naval officer when Austria is a landlocked country – I never understood that either. So until you tell me otherwise, I’m going to assume either a secret ocean appeared in the Underbrook or maybe the orange-guava juice thing exploded. Or maybe Saybrook’s “Monday Madness” was too much to handle.
• Why didn’t I get a text from LKL about this? Ever since that time she told me that I had lost power after I had lost (and re-gained) power, she hasn’t been on top of her game.
• Branford shares a kitchen with Saybrook. Enjoy your orzo.
