It’s the usual Thursday mish-mash of exercising in the morning and working in the afternoon. Only today Earl and I have decided we’ll go out to dinner instead of waiting for our traditional Friday night date. I’m not sure why agreed to this, but I think it has to do with the stimulus package Tosi’s offers during the week. Supposedly the restaurant advertises various meals at discount prices, so we can eat for less. Which is not to be construed as being able to drink for less.
Regardless, we headed to Tosi’s to enjoy an early weekend date. After cocktails were served, much of our conversation over dinner revolved around our new home. I proposed closet arrangements; he offered ideas about the loft above the garage. I mentioned ceiling fans; he described flat panel TVs. I find this enjoyable, because it’s a project we’re both engaged in.
We elaborated and devised, planned and counter-planned, as he consumed eggplant and I enjoyed tilapia. Both were on the stimulus menu, so if our check still seemed high I suspect it was because of the cocktails involved. No matter. It was the ambience, conversation, and flavorful food that I’ll remember long after we pay the Visa bill.
