I got home a little while ago from a great little wine bar near 52nd Street and 9th Avenue. Caroline Spencer, one of Alex's close friends from Rhode Island, had invited me to have dinner and a drink with her after work. We had a great time catching up! It was fun to hang out with someone that has known Alex for longer than I have. We certainly had a lot to talk about. At the end of the meal, we both reached into our wallets and pulled out the same Bank of America check card! I thought about how confusing it could have been to the staff, since we were both named Caroline.
Tonight the West Village was alive with people out on the streets as I walked back to my apartment from the subway. Straight couples, gay couples, several groups of laughing girls, two women walking dogs, an old man struggling along with his cane . . . and me, walking alone and looking at everyone. I saw for the first time what everyone means when they tell me I am living in a very "cool" area of town.
