Joyce and I have a goal to go out, or do something together (non-work related), once a week. Lately, we have not been able to meet that goal so we felt that last Saturday night was a good time to rekindle the flame. Also, since we have a new Chili's Restaurant on Guam we thought that it was a good time to go out to eat for date night. Our plan was to go to the 4 PM showing of a movie and then hit Chili's for dinner. Matt called just as we were going out the door so we missed the afternoon show time for the movie so we had an early dinner at Chili's. We enjoyed the meal (only a little more expensive than a Chili's on the mainland.) and the service was very good. I had the mushroom-Swiss burger which was great and Joyce had
a fajita pita. Next time I will try the fajitas. I have missed being able to get a good fajita.After dinner we went to a later showing of "State of Play." It was over two hours long but it was so intense that I didn't even notice the time going by. The movie had an intricate plot with a few surprises and kept you into the story with a well-written plot, interesting characters and good acting without the slam bang special effects and gratuitous sex and violence. Russell Crowe and Robin Wright (the Princess Bride and Forrest Gump's Jenny) were very good and even Ben Affleck did some real acting. We had a great time (also hit Ross to pick up some more stuff for the grandkids) and it was nice to get out for a relaxing Saturday evening.

Wait a minute. I thought you guys were missionaries living on a remote tropical island in a grass hut -- surviving on fish and coconuts -- struggling to overcome the elements.
Umm, we ARE missionaries on a tropical island, but we live in a concrete hut. I do eat more fish here but still tend to survive on cereal and chicken. The cool thing about the recipe for Guam is that it is one part tropical island, one part mainland US, one part Asia and pinches of pretty much every other world culture.
