Monday Night Good Times

My first love, RB, came into town this past weekend for his 20th high school reunion. (Mine is next year. Will I go? I HATED the 10th reunion! BO-ring! I dunno, he had fun at his 20th so I'm actually considering going to mine.) Anyway, he was busy all weekend with reunion stuff and I was busy all weekend with the baby, so we got together on Monday night since he was flying back to NYC already on Tuesday morning. We decided to meet at Sambuca to hear some jazz, specifically a bass player friend of his from high school.

I got there earlier than RB b/c he was trying to run around and say hi to several other people before he even got to me! I sat at the bar and ordered a bunch of munchies, including these lamb meatballs that cost $3/meatball! Worth it! Also I had 2 glasses of Riesling so I was feeling pretty good by the time RB arrived. We haven't seen each other since 2003 when I went up to NY to go see Levon! But he looked the same, I looked the same, I have to admit time has been mostly good to both of us. I know part of the reason is because neither of us have birthed any kids!

I cannot believe he is some kind of NYPD cop b/c you would never guess it. He is still goofy and young at heart and sweet and seems harmless although he does enjoy going to fetish parties! Anyway, we had a good time together, so much so that I wasn't ready to say goodbye and so I dragged him to the Continental Club where my friends' band was playing. We shut the place down!!! And we promised to not let another 6 years go by without seeing each other. He has almost convinced me to meet him at Burning Man one of these years, for example!

I'm just glad I still keep in touch with my very first love and we are still friends after all these years. He was even sweet enough to ask that I call him immediately in case I ever get divorced. Not that either of those things will happen, but it was very sweet. S was only a little perturbed when I got home so late but he got over it.
