Yesterday, I got take out Thai and went over to Amy's to have dinner and spend the evening with her and her 3.5-week-old daughter Emmy. Which sounds very simple, I know ( Read more... )

On Saturday, I had dinner with my friend Manuel. I was a little worried about it seeming like a date, so I asked Caroline along but she declined.
