Saturday Night Alive

Saturday night in the big city and Alexandra and I met up with Dr. Ron and his pal Ethan for dinner in Hell's Kitchen at a hole in the wall Italian. Alexandra was dressed in a beaded dress and boots right out of "Fellini meets Barbarella"and I went for the "divorced middle-aged father of two who lives in Seattle and drives a Jeep" look with jeans, laundered casual shirt hanging out and brown lightweight car coat.

Ron and Ethan were already there which allows an actress and her escort to make an entrance.

We had a good time. Alexandra got to assess Ron and I got to feel self-conscious, but happy. Yes, that is what I aspire to --" Self conscious and happy." Another therapy session not needed.

Afterwards we went to a comedy club. The three New Yorkers hadn't a clue where to go, but we used my trusty iPhone and the griddiness of the City and went to a place where I could spend $15 dollars on two seltzer waters. It is fun to laugh, I have to say. Like bowling, and dating I never think of comedy clubs, but when I do these things I usually always enjoy them.

And right now especially dating...

And...if you missed the SNL opening with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton, it is effin brilliant. Watch it. They are both so good.
