My wife and I went out to lunch today to an Italian restaurant that had been recommended to us by an acquaintance. My take: OK, as a last resort. Her take: she liked it.
Such is life...the vagaries of spousal restaurant assessments.
Completely new topic: While we were on the way to lunch (or was it on the way back), we heard an interesting interview. It was an interview of Norah Vincent, author of Self-Made Man: One Woman's Journey into Manhood and Back Again.
Vincent, we learned during the interview, is a lesbian. Her sexual preferences do matter, as the interview revealed. But they matter only in terms of how she perceives people with whom she interacts...pretending to be a straight man. I think I'd like to read the book. Add it to the list of 999 others that I want to take time to read.
The dryer alarm just went off...loud, obnoxious, noisy bastard...but my wife, who put the clothes in the dryer in the first place, is in bed. This is an indication that the load in the dryer is either towels, sheets, or underwear...things that do not need to be hung up or folded or put on hangers. So, despite hearing the annoying alarm, I sit here writing about...laundry noises. I'm such a cosmopolitan guy! I think I'll give lessons.
This weekend, we will use our hotel certificate. Free room, free breakfast, opportunity to wander around downtown Dallas without paying for the convenient bed we'll sleep in...(the Heavenly Bed...I'm loving that!). We may go to a godawful expensive restaurant, Stephen Pyles, which is said to be phenomenally good, with prices to match. But my wife found a list of great ceviche options that we could have at only $48 for a sampler...so we may do that, and have crackers and cheese for our real dinner.
It's supposed to get godawful cold tonight and tomorrow and through the weekend. That's a pain, given our downtown escapades. But, we will wear layers and pretend it's summer. We will enjoy this weekend, by God!
It would be even better if it were in Ajijic!
