I made a joke with several of my friends that it's been a couple of years since I've been to temple, so I decided to go today. What I included in the message was a picture of the Temple of Dendur at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met).

Earlier this week, I made arrangements to meet RQS at the Met for an afternoon of wandering around the museum. This was going to be a fun day, as she hadn't been to the Met in years, and I hadn't visited since before the pandemic. And one could easily spot some of the changes made at the Met if one had visited it before, such as the elimination of a public dining area. More importantly, if an exhibit required that people enter a small space, that space was closed off to prevent people from contaminating each other within a small space.
After 3 hours at the museum, we were both getting tired of walking around the museum, so off we went to the Nom Wah Tea Parlor. This was my first time back there in 2 years, and the place felt a little bit more airy - as if a table or two had been removed. So we sat down and enjoyed a nice Dim Sum dinner, exposing RQS to new tastes in Chinese food. And all too soon, it was time to leave.
This was a nice day out, but I'm a little leery about telling her about my bi-gendered nature. Yet, it's something I'll have to do soon.
Keep your fingers crossed.
