First Friday uptown with the girls was so much fun that we've decided to make it a monthly occasion. Two OTs, a PT, and me. Of course, we were joined by our friend the massage therapist, then by another OT we used to work with, and finally a caregiver for a student. Next month we'll have to push the two four-tops together.

The joint was hoppin', which is to say full, lively, and festive. We ate some excellent stuff: mahi mahi tacos, wild mushroom pappardelle stroganoff, Louisiana sauteed shrimp, halibut over garlic potatoes, and a seared ahi salad.

Oh my.

We all described the food as orgasmic. The restaurant we were at used to be merely passable with a few highlights; now it is a bona fide gastronomic event.

And now it is two AM, my head is sore from only two G&Ts, and I need sleep. Two-drink maximum, with one-drink maximum under serious consideration.

But oh, the food!
