winnah!

My girlfriend Ilona is in town, so I went all out today. We met at Falafel King (at Downtown Crossing) and splurged on the King Special Sandwich: falafel and meat of choice (for me, today: lamb). Whoa. What a sandwich. Those guys are so good there. But I totally got drenched in the one of the periodic downpours today on my way back to work: a classic scenario of leaning into the wind with an inside-out umbrella. Plus, I'm holding a latte that's splashing all over me. Smaht!

And tonight, after the munchkin went to bed, I met Ilona & we went to ManRay at Toast. It'll never be quite the same, but we saw Richard & Sarah, and the music was good (especially for someone who doesn't go out anymore). I try to make it home early...and I missed the bus. But my stubborn streak rears its head, and I think I can catch the bus back the other way. Not thinking (until it's too late) that maybe the train won't be running when I get to Lechmere and/or the Red Line.

Which, by the way, shouldn't the T stop running buses to a train that can't get you anywhere?

So I hoof it from Lechmere to the other end of the Galleria where I know there is a cab stand, and got a nice cabbie who drove me to Dorchester after 12:30.

I get home, and instead of going to bed? I check email. And write emails. And blog. And now the cat is being a jerk, knocking stuff over at 1:30AM. Still, I had fun, and that's what counts. Even so: duh-duh-nuh! Winnah!
