The Good Influence That is Me..

...managed to get Ted out and about last night. Well, sort of. For Local Legend Tim's birthday (he behaves like he could still be in his twenties, so really, the number doesn't matter), Ted called and invited me to help celebrate Tim's birthday party with delightful dishes in Kashmir. Sneaking up on the restaurant, with all the lights out, I was a little concerned that I had somehow gotten information wrong and was delighted to see Tim's fluffy hair in a back corner. Hiroko had opened up the joint just for Tim and Zack, and I was lucky enough (thanks to Ted) to be able to join in. It was very much a night for the boys, and I just happened to be in the mix, loving and laughing at every lewd and luscious minute of it. Joined by Jen, who brought cakes, the party atmosphere of good friends and conversation carried on until we finally gave in to let Hiroko relax in peace. Heading off to Jazz Inn for quality jazz, mellow moods and smoky atmosphere, we lost Jen, but made up numbers with Diane who waited patiently and Cian who showed up later. All in all, one of those nights that make you laugh and smile when you think about it later, which leads to the blog entry for today, and also leads to my good influence on Ted, who might otherwise be inclined to spend far too many hours on the inside rather than out with the rest of us fools.

So, does this make you wanna do it again Ted? I'm up for it...
