Reconnecting

Every once in a while you get lucky and you get a second chance to reconnect with someone you shouldn't have let slip away, for whatever reason. Maybe you're a freak. Maybe life just gets tangled and some people slip through the cracks. Who knows. All I know is that it's occasionally good -- and good for the soul, I suspect -- to rediscover the delight to be had in good people.

I was lucky enough to have such an opportunity Thursday night. And, on top of it, got to have a really good meal at a place the Lagemæ had always enjoyed, Zuni.



Speaking of enjoying someplace, I was sifting through some notes I'd made for myself not long ago and came across an amazing example of why it is I absolutely love New York City.

Kenjiman and I had an evening out a while back in which we had dinner at an incredible Senegalese restaurant, scored tickets to an amazing Israeli dance company, and then afterward stuffed our gullets with the most amazing New York cheesecake ever.

I know there are many places in the world where you could, likely, have an evening like that, but not too many of them are in the contiguous United States.

I'm just saying.
