News Round-Up
Let's see...
1. The fall allergy season is upon us--or at least upon me. I suggest that you take any spare change and buy stock in Kleenex. Today, it's parent company, Kimberly-Clark, is trading at $63 a share. Now you know.
2. This weekend, I had an awkward first date (he was just SO enthusiastic about how wonderful I am, which of course is true, but made me nervous nonetheless) that culminated in a terrible "attempt to hold hands that was roughly rejected" incident. On the other hand, Taste of Bethesda was great!
3. Saturday night I enjoyed t the company of Ms. NYC Rouge, who had graced us with her presence for the weekend. It was a regular soiree, with a lovely dinner hosted by I'd Rather Be Traveling. I'm proud to say that we also were party to the strange booming noises that defied explanation (that is, until the Washington Post explained it), but did not deign to call the police. The frivolities continued well into the night, where after a poorly planned extra bottle of wine was consumed (mainly by me), we embarked on a little trip to Aroma. What we normally found to be a "swank martini bar" had turned into a different sort of place. It was strange, but fun...at least what I remember of it. Sunday was spent recovering.
That about covers it. FYI--this was a 5-Kleenex entry. Damn that pollen!
