weeknight amusements

A couple of vignettes that I forgot to post from earlier in the week:

I was at Lambert House about to run to a date (or so I thought at the time) when I popped in to sync up on house business with the director, Ken Shulman. Ken noticed my plum & saturated-blue Argyle tights. He said that was the kind of thing he would have worn back when he was a dancer. These days he looks like, well, a lot of men in their fifties who work white collar jobs, but I got a lovely mental image of a young, lithe, and ever so gay Ken in Argyle tights. It made me smile.

On Tuesday night I delivered dinner to a grateful Nibs and boy, and since he was behind on homework, I found myself at loose ends at 8:00. I hadn't talked to my neighbor L in some time, so I stopped by to set up a date. So of course we spent the next two hours catching up. I even described how I first laid eyes on the Young Lady in the Bowler. She said, "Your life isn't something... of this cul-de-sac." No, it isn't. We still have a coffee date because L is cool like that.
Haruki Murakami's 1Q84 has eaten my mind. See you some time this summer, maybe.
Oh: my Saturday night plan is worthy of posting. House music deity Mark Farina et al. will be at Neumo's for the fifteenth anniversary of local label-cum-promoter Uniting Souls. This should be good. I will caffeinate beforehand.
