Dinner

Kim and I, mostly Kim, watched our neighbor's kids today. She paid me for the privilege. Since Kim did the watching while I did the re-potting of containers, vacuuming of cars, and the like, I thought Kim should have the money. We decided to go out to dinner and blow the bucks. Gavin, Kim and I headed to the Thai Kitchen on Queen Ann.

It was one of those evenings where each of us, not just me, thought he/she funny.

The lady next to our table we had spoken to briefly because she had a dog in the front who looked like my old dog Winnie. I noticed her looking at me several times during dinner and when they were getting ready to leave, she said, "Do you mind if I ask how you three know one another?"

"Well, we all live together, though Gavin lives in an apt. at our house. Do you mind if I ask why?"

She couldn't figure out how this ancient woman would be hanging out with such neophyte hotties.

She said something about how we seemed like family but couldn't figure out how.

The man she was with, whom I recognized as a local artist, poked me in the arm and said, "She thinks you have great energy."

Not exactly sure what that means, but I am taking it as a compliment. When in doubt...
