This is a man who was willing to sacrifice a perfectly good lasagna.

Went to dinner with P last night, who was in town with a friend to see a concert on Sunday. We talked about a great many things including the above story about the friend's borderline personality disorder weirdo ex and P's crush on some intern. Went to therapy, a newish gay bar in my 'hood, which feels like someone's mountain cabin and was playing a video of the photo shoot from that Parisian rugby team photo shoot on the flat screen above the fireplace. Lots of men in sweaters and knit hats. It's a good look.

God, I am such a winter girl. Give me a man in a great sweater and a knit hat over a guy in swim trunks any day.
