I found the above Garfield comic on the internet today, and felt it captured the spirit of today's dinner with a friend. But first....

Last night, I found that the scanner on my "all-in-one" scanner/printer stopped working when I tried to scan documents needed to be given a $100 cruise credit by the cruise line's shareholder relations department. Today, I started tearing apart boxes of stuff I stashed behind my loveseat to find the single purpose scanner I used to use. After making a total mess in my living room, I found the scanner and tried to install it on my computer. Unfortunately, there were no Windows 10 drivers for the scanner, and I ended up tossing the scanner in the trash.
Once I was done with scanning futility, I decided to get showered and dressed to have dinner with my friend from the meetup group, MAR. This woman is young enough to be my daughter, and works in a services field. (I don't want to say too much more about what she does for a living here.) We discussed many a thing, including my upcoming cruises. And she surprised me by asking if she could come along with me on one of my less expensive trips. (This woman has never traveled.) There is no way I'd do this while seeing RQS, and I wouldn't ruin my relationship with RQS to do so. (I wonder if my cruising with FCP negatively affected my relationship with XGFJ. If so, I don't want to make that mistake again.) I told MAR that if we were to do so, she'd find out much more about me than I think she'd like. (I've never mentioned that I am transgender to her, and I think that she believes that I am a cisgender female. Why ruin that image?)
So why did I mention Garfield and lasagna? Like the cartoon cat, I love lasagna, and polished off a large portion at dinner. Yum! We may have lost a good pizza shop in town, where one could get a quick slice. But we have a good Italian joint in its place, where I have never had a bad sit down dinner.
