Such a nice evening

We just got home from an evening in Manhattan. After a long day of running errands, doing house stuff, etc., it was nice to get out.

We had dinner with Byrne, Jeff and Michael at Veselka on 2nd Avenue. Well, actually, our first stop in Manhattan was at a lighting store on Bowery, to finish our day of renovation-related errands. Then we had dinner.

Although Veselka is best known for its desserts, etc., it also serves some fine dinner food. It was very nice, and, more importantly, the company was wonderful.

After a nice, relaxing dinner, we went to a bar called XES, on 24th Street. There, we ran in Martin, one of the boys from the rugby team. It was nice seeing him--and not just because he's so easy on the eyes! (Really, when he gave me a kiss goodbye and the whiskers on his cheek rubbed against my face, I almost had to jump that cute boy!)

So we had drinks, relaxed and waited for Patrick to arrive, which he did, with Greg, about 45 minutes into our drinking. We also were joined by the author of boifromtroy.

Oh yes, Patrick and Greg also brought a couple of friends with them. Despite being straight, they seemed very nice. Even though I really don't approve of the straight lifestyle, I respect their right to do whatever they like. They're consenting adults, and I really try not to be heterophobic.

So I'd say that this evening was the high point of the weekend. Tomorrow, it's back to chores! *sigh*

Gotta watch out for Patrick. One minute your sober, the next minute he's feeding you shots, you lose your phone twice during the evening and start acting like a muppet on crack.

He's dangerous.

Zeitzeuge: Oh yes, I know him very well, and your admonition is well founded! :)
