Thin ice

Today was the last Partners' Lunch of the year so we decided to go out in style. An ice rink has been set up for the holiday season in Union Square in SF, and the nearest restaurant to it is The Cheesecake Factory at the top of Macy's. Need I say more?

It's a while since I've been on ice, but it was so much fun! The main activity was avoiding the hoards of children that were rolling, crawling and generally sliding about. Shouldn't they be in school? Rousing ballet music played over the loudspeakers, inspiring some complex figure skating moves, while six-year-olds in full ice hockey gear sped past.

Here's to all partners staying unemployed in 2009!



Where better to have an ice rink?



Moran and Fini get in the Christmas spirit as they lace up their skates.



We take our health and safety very seriously.



Dana looks the part (they have very few frozen lakes in Israel to practice on).

When at The Cheesecake Factory...eat!
