March 30 - Last Night With Lauren

Tomorrow Lauren leaves for a six week gig with The Second City in Arizona. The show is called Second City Does Arizona or Close But No Saguaro. It will run in Tucson and Phoenix until May 16. However, on May 9 I leave for a four week European tour with The Bitter Tears. With the exception of a 29 hour visit in April, I won't see her until early June.

This will be another fun good challenge for us, but mostly not fun and not that good. We'll be fine, it's just the draggy part of being a couple that pursues separate creative whims.

We brought a six pack to our local Ethiopian restaurant and sat side by side, looking out the window instead of at the weird TV. We filled up on lentil sambusas, spicy squash, gomen, and beefs and lambs and peppers.

Then it was back home to relax with some silly television singing contests and that stuff that people do.

Verdict: Win
