Hey, devilc? This post is partly for you.
This year (yeah, seriously, back to January or further) has been just a tad stressful for me and 
draconis. In different forms, but still.
Today, we struck back. We went and got a massage each. He was purring when he got out; I was actually a little dizzy where she'd gotten all of the knots out of my neck. 'Hold the chair to get dressed again' dizzy. (Very bizarre, but oh I feel better.) From there, we went around the corner to a local micro-brewery/restaurant and had superb local made beer (I had the Midtown Brown, he had the Ed's Porter) and a very early dinner. Portobello stuffed with sundried tomatos and gorgonzola for me with amazing balsamic vinegar to dip it in and jasmine rice. He had a spicy chicken pizza called the Pollo Diablo that tries to live up to the name.
alysswolf met up with us for the beer (Midtown Brown for her, too) and split a triple chocolate cheesecake with us. (The chocolate and the raspberry sauce vanished, too.) Then we went the two minutes back to her place to watch Pearl Bailey sing gospel and show tunes with the Muppets. God, what a voice.
I wanted coffee on the way home, so Dragon bought me a cappuccino and we sat and read favorite books and finally came back so he could reluctantly go back to work.
Great stress break though. Thanks,
devilc -- the encouragement to go and relieve stress was much appreciated and very timely.
