I think OH would have had me out of there faster than a falling fruit kebab. If I'm ever in Columbia, I'll look out for Harpers - thanks for the tip! And I'd love to watch Spellbound with OH, just to see the bemusement on his face at that part! I don’t dare to think about what would have happened if he’d looked like Johnny Depp, Jenny!

TG knows where to take me for this kind of treatment (and excellent food): Harper's in the Five Points neighborhood of Columbia, which is basically the campus of the University of South Carolina. They make my coffee fresh now, without my even having to ask. They know better than to bring me some that's been sitting in the pot even for five minutes. And they always compliment my millinery. If a waiter impersonated Johnny Depp ... down to the eyebrow cleavage ... TG would see flirting that would put more hair on his chest. The tine thing ... reminded me of Gregory Peck in <i>Spellbound.</i> He got the heebies if they were too straight.</i> Ingrid Bergman cured him rather nicely, though.

He was very much the kind of waiter you described. He had (he is now a restaurant manager) a way of making one feel like they were the only person who existed in his universe. The real gift was that he could do it in a room full of ten tables. Bastard.
