Drinks for Old Friends and Ear Rubs for New Ones

THING I’D NEVER DONE BEFORE: Gone to Windsor Terrace in Brooklyn, and Marisa’s apartment for laaadies’ night with Marisa, Heather and Sam

MOST NOTABLE THING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE: Good people, good food, good drinks – if that isn’t the best, what is?

OTHER THINGS OF NOTE: Marisa had a recipe for this amazing chickpea and cauliflower thing, and it turns out it came from GOOP, so *maybe* I will have to stop judging Gwyneth Paltrow quite so hard now. Maybe. Marisa has gotten into Inside Amy Schumer, too, now and we finished the night off with a few episodes of that, and then, because Sam and I were sleepy and slightly intoxicated and far from home, we had an adult sleepover. Which mostly just consisted of us all going to sleep.

 DOG OF THE DAY: Today in the park I saw a dogwalker walking a pack of seven chihuahas and then one regular sized dog named Bailey. I know her name, because I was staring at her, wondering if she felt left out of the chihuaha pack (they were all on one side of the dogwalker and she was on the other), and she turned around and saw me, wagged her tail, and then, after the dogwalker introduced us, came and pressed her face against my thigh and let me rub her ears for a bit. Bailey, it turns out, is not that concerned with chihuahas. She’s more into squirrels, and ear rubs.
