Day 143

Day 143: After a hard day at work, and a strenuous workout at the gym (I'm bulkin' up!  BEEFCAKE!!), R and I met up with MH and EG at DeVere's, an Irish-ish Pub in Midtown. 

Why did we meet up with them?

Because TRIVIA!!

We didn't "win", but I haven't laughed so hard in years.  We had sooooo much fun, and we did get a lot of good pulls: R got Iowa, I got 2/3 of an answer about Tom Hanks, MH talked us into Hamlet, and EG found the White Stripes with a lot of confidence.

Mostly, though, nights like tonight are delightful, for the following: every once in a while, you'll find yourself sitting across from an instant friend, and it's just not even a question.  It's one of the most amazing experiences on earth.  It becomes an exercise in joy; a eustress, as the endocrinologists say.

Endocrinologists know how to party.

Also, R asked me to draw somebody, so I drew a nice woman sitting at a nearby table, who was of a certain age.  She could NOT have responded more positively.  One of her companions said, "She's gonna adopt ya; this is a good deal!"  She was quite pleased, and I was happy in my heart.  I draw a lot of portraits, but that was by far one of the most rewarding.  She told me many times that she was going to have it framed, with a sincerity that touched me all the way to my toes.

It was a really, really, really good night.

I love my friends!!

Tomorrow, ADVENTURE!!  :)

I was feeling all, "Bleh! This day sucks!" Then, I thought, I wonder if Jim has updated his adventure blog in the past few days, and I read this, which made me feel all, "Awwww. Yay!"

Thanks, Jim!
