Although the above looks nothing like the dinner I had tonight, it tasted as good as this dinner looks. It's been forever since VW and I have gotten together, and it was nice to see her again after almost a year.
But first...
It's been forever since I've seen VW. When it appeared that I had double booked dining dates with VW and TCL, I asked TCL to postpone things as it's harder to meet with VW than TCL. Unfortunately, TCL and I have yet to find a good date where I can finally get together with her (as Mario). So, I'll likely find a free weekday to meet TCL and have a long postponed "birthday dinner".

Back to VW and dinner...
The other day, I found a long missing dress safely stored inside a chest I plan to give away. Given how much I love this dress, I was elated when I was able to show this dress to RQS - she thought it looked great on me when I dropped her off at the train station. And I planned to wear it when I saw VW later on.
VW and I agreed to meet halfway between our two residences. This meant that we'd meet somewhere in the Brewster vicinity, and I figured that I'd need 45 minutes to get there. Around 5:30 pm, I put my dress back on, and drove to the restaurant to meet VW. Just as I got to the restaurant, I got a call from VW - her GPS wasn't working, and needed directions to the restaurant. Given that she took NY-22 most of the way, I gave her instructions on how to find the restaurant once in Brewster.
Since VW was going to be delayed for a few minutes, I decided to fill up my gas tank and fine tune the directions I gave her. So, after I returned to the restaurant, I called her and told her how to complete her trip. Shortly afterward, she arrived and we proceeded to order dinner. Although I won't discuss the topics VW brought up, I talked about RQS and our recent trip to California. Soon, dinner came and we had a leisurely meal. Unfortunately, the service was even more leisurely to a fault. It took forever for us to get our bill and to get our change.
Since we were the last people in the restaurant, we knew it was time to go home. As we left the restaurant, I was reminded of why VW and I never made it as a couple - we both had the wrong baggage for us to be each other's match. At least, we could be good friends....
