The Seder

[plural]

went off beautifully

the food was raved about
[of course]

and the image of
22 adults slurping popsicles
was definitely worth it

I, of course, was obliged to explain
that popsicles was part of the religious observance *grin*

Of course, this marks the second year in a row
where we failed to finish the seder
because the majority of the guests
were far too intoxicated to continue.

a particular guest
showed up late
but she made up for it
by staying several hours
after the rest of the guests had departed

we chatted for quite a while
it was most pleasant

I find her most attractive

she is older than I
smart and wise
seemingly emotionally well balanced

she is a professional commodities trader
I have to respect someone
who can make their delusions profitable
*grin*

this is the second occasion
on which we've spent several hours
engrossed in conversation

as I walked her to her car
she hinted about going out some time
so
I suggested that we get coffee
later in the week.

it turns out we both have the same
favorite cafe here in Seattle.

I don't know what the hell I am doing
but I'm enjoying myself
so why ask questions

besides
I've a play to work on
and half a bottle of wine to finish

so I'll bid yall goodnight
