A new year
Me: When are you two free for the next meeting of the Handsome Mens Club (trademark pending)?
NFL Player: Next week or following week?
Thor: Absolutely.
It’s been a busy week of catching up with people now that school’s back in session.
It’s funny, before I was a parent, my year began in September just because that’s when it began as a kid.
But as a parent, it begins in September again because the kid’s year now begins in September.
And so does the year of all my friends with kids.
Case in point: Met up with Thor and the NFL Player for dinner around the way at a new joint called Sugarfish because they were both back in town from their summer travels.
The food was very good BUT the rice was warm – warmer than body temperature – and I’ve just never had warm sushi rice before.
Very odd.
Also checked out Thor’s new whip that he got just for fun.
Him: (proudly) Zero-to-sixty in less than three seconds.
Me: Jesus.
Then, that weekend, the Firecracker, the kids, and I all went down to the Surgeon’s for a little get-together where we finished an entire bottle of rum…
Me: (to Flutist, the Surgeon’s wife) Your husband almost killed me last time.
Surgeon: That’s why we’ve been drinking rum.
Flutist: It was that bad?
Firecracker: (nodding) Oh, yeah…oh, yeah…
…before we went up to their roof because the weather was just perfect.
Then, the very next morning, bright and early, I went over to Cappy’s like I said in the last entry.
There, I went to his roof and saw more spectacular skylines.
I live in the basement of a townhouse, so my views are of garbage cans and a parking lot.
Maybe someday, I’ll live in a place with gorgeous views.
Actually, nah.
Don’t wanna get spoiled.
Location: NJ, having what I thought was good Italian food. Others disagreed.
Mood: fatty-fat-fat
Music: wanna let you know I’m gonna build castles (Spotify)
