Random musings from a guy who's old enough to know better!

An unusual day!

10:15AM, the phone rings. Cathy answers. "It's Irv. He and Marty are going to be in Bordentown looking at houses and they want to meet us for lunch". Cool! Haven't seen Irv for several weeks and Marty, not since before she went to Chicago. So at 1:30 we meet them in front of Oliver's, a place that Irv and I had lunched the last time we got together, but Marty decided that Jester's looked better to her and since Cathy has been wanting to try Jester's, we go there. Eat lunch, schmooze until around 3. They're thinking of moving away from their North Philly suburban home because the taxes are killing them (they're both retired). alk arounf a bit to see a garden and then stop at a jewelers to get a link taken out of my new watchband. Irv and Marty head back to Glenside.

Go home. Turn on the Red Sox-Yankees game on TV and watch until about 4. Doorbell rings. It's Steve and Phyllis, on their way back to Princeton from Philly airport where S had picked up P after a flight from Orlando. Have a drink. Schooze until 6. "Let's go to dinner." Where? "Italian!" Call Conti's -- booked. Europa is too homely. Hmmm...how about.......JESTER'S? Why not. So back to Bordentown and Jester's for a surprisingly good Italian dinner.

Fun! More improptu socializing than we do in a month.

Two bad things -- I didn't get my nap and the Sox lost. :-)
