Tonight was one of those surreal nights...Michelle and I were having a conversation, suddenly we're doing shots with the guy seated next to her (he was minding his own business, reading Shogun) and Ned (the bartender, it was so good to see him again! His hair grew out a bit, he put on a bit of muscle, looks hotter than usual) ; then Michelle, the guy next to her and I are talking about animals and testing (he's a vet tech at Harvard) and the next thing I know I'm in a deep conversation about politics and racial issues with some older black man with a bowtie who graduated from Princeton and finally I'm talking to the guy next to Michelle about LOTR and Harry Potter and how good the books and movies are. Huh??? As usual, Ned charged us like $25.00 for dinner and many, MANY drinks (we were there from 5:30 pm- 10 pm).

How I missed these kinds of nights!

I need a night like that.. away from my KIDS@@

Now that sounds like my kind of night! I must come join you sometime. ;)

Yes it was surreal and FUN and amazingly enough no hangover. Good ole Ned -- he even made sure we had 2 glasses of water. Somehow I completely missed the conversation about LOTR....hmmmmm.

What a great sounding night!
