Over the last week, I had a relative spending a number of days at the new Kaiser Hospital in Santa Clara (out now, all's fine). One afternoon I was walking into the telemetry ward there and approached two twenty-something paramedics wheeling a woman out on a gurney. As I passed them in the hall, one recounted to the other about a fantastic time he'd had at Mountain Charlie's in Los Gatos. His colleague grinned. "Mountain Charlie's - that place is great!" was the immediate and very enthusiastic response.  Having gone there quite a bit when I was a twenty-something, I smiled to remember a lot of happy times.

It's nice to just overhear people share an enthusiastic endorsement of a Los Gatos nightspot, isn't it?
