So tonight we had dinner with my dear friend Charles and his soon to be bride, Alpana. I have been trying to drag them out to the burb forever so that they can experience the Mafia hang out. Finally the stars aligned and off we went.
I have know Charles for what seems like 100 years (really it has been more like 13) and for some reason I am always pleasantly surprised when we go out. I guess it is that I forget that he is wonderful. Or maybe it was that we had wine. His bride (I think I like calling her that because it makes him sound like he is in charge which we know he is not) is a local celebrity which makes for interesting conversation.
I am always worried when faced with social interactions because I often reference People magazine and the E! Network, when I am not sharing some pointless tale about my kids. I was pleased that we could discuss wine, as well as the Brittney Spears interview with Matt Lauer (I am thrilled to know that they still have it on their Tivo and were also bothered by his lack of socks).
All in all we had a lovely evening.
The best part was that I didn't have to read The Care Bears: Caring Contest at any point in my evening.
