It is a way of life for most of us, unless you are in a mentally delusional state, that life has its ups and down and some days are good and some not. Right now everything is good and I hope it stays that way, at least for a while.
I had a very, very nice night, last night, with Desi. He again drove three and a half hours to get to my place. We had a drink and then left to go to dinner and dancing. The place we decided to go was the Foxfire. Talk about a contrast of different sides of a place. The dining side is very staid. Almost like a funeral parlor, with men in tuxedos waiting table with the demeanor of morticians. At least our waiter had that persona. Desi and I have a lot of fun and most of it is critiquing others , although they don't know we are doing that.
Surprisingly the food was very good. The reason we were both amazed that the food was good was that the clientele entering on the bar/dance side was questionable.
We couldn't figure out where so many and I mean, several hundred, people that dressed and looked like they bought everything at a bad Good Will lived. The amount of women poured into short, short sausage dresses and cheap shoes was astounding. The men weren't much better, although to give them credit they at least weren't wearing every imaginable body showing outfit you could find. There were a lot of fat women, with boobs pushed up to their chins, that shouldn't have been wearing what they were wearing. Don't they look in the mirror? Desi said they look in the medicine cabinet mirror. He probably was right. I told him I thought they went shopping with a girlfriend and the girlfriend didn't want competition, so they told them they looked hot in what they were purchasing. NOT!!!
We stayed several hours and were sitting with a girl, her boyfriend and her aunt, as seats were at a premium, who were about the only normal people in the place. They concurred about the people and outfits, so I know it just wasn't Desi and I being snobs.
It was fun. Desi can be quite profane and funny and he had everyone laughing.. He saw one poor four hundred pound gal, who was wearing a short, short dress that had flowers all over it, and declared her the triple crown winnah! Thank heaven she didn't hear him, but he got it right.It was a lot of fun and we did a lot of laughing, but we won't be going back. We really didn't fit in.
Desi will be around for several weeks, although working. He headed out for the desert to look at property and is still trying to play catch up after being gone for weeks. Desi has decided something, that I knew a long time ago, we have a really strong connection of "like.": I can honestly say I haven't felt this way about anyone in my whole life. Even though we don't see each other that much, when we do it is sparks, fun and comfortable. And to think he had to coax me to meet him way back when because I thought he was to young.
I'm headed out for a gallery showing tonight at the Fine Arts Center in Irvine an then tomorrow morning it will be a Mexican brunch for a fund raiser.
Life really is good right now.
