More research might have helped: not only was it a chilly evening to be outside, but most of d.b.a.'s back garden was reserved for a whisky tasting they were having. Still, that simplified the decision to grab a couple of tables in the bar, selected primarily for having enough light that I could see the pages of my notebook while waiting for company.

The few of us who showed up--Arwen,

roadnotes,

baldanders, the Evil Twins (not actually related to each other), Peter, and of course me--had fun. Between

roadnotes and Kevin, we were well supplied with crisps and with sweets; I had trouble convincing myself that I had to not only eat dinner, but figure out what, when I got home.

One advantage of coming home relatively early is that the new crescent moon was gorgeous over the hills of Inwood Hill Park, a bright crescent, the rest of the moon shining by earthlight, and a bright planet hanging nearby.

I'll be there next month, I promise!

I really wanted to be there this month, but my thesis is due tomorrow, so I really could't make it. ::pout::

Next month it really should be warm enough for outdoors. And we have fun when it rains!

Afterwards, we Evil Twins went off in an unsuccessful search for Two Boots, and wound up settling for Katz’s, which reminded me of why I don’t eat at Katz’s more often. Good matzo ball on the matzo ball soup, and a very nice sweet potato knish, but man, does their line management technique suck.
