Megan and I were planning to go to Candlelit Shopping in the Village, but Mother Nature had other plans. She decided, quite reasonably for the season, that it was time for wind and rain, which is not good shopping weather unless your chauffeured limousine is following you down Fifth Avenue with all the Christmas decorations lit up.
We may not have had a limo – OK, I admit it, we didn’t – but we did have a chauffeur, in the form of the ever-patient Rob. He dropped us off at our favorite seaside bar, which is the perfect port in any storm:
It was warm and cozy, and we could observe the weather without participating in it, as well as enjoying the view of the storm-tossed sea. I think the ocean is beautiful in any weather.
We settled back with a sparkling kir royale each:
accompanied by a delightful cheese platter with quince membrillo:
and chatted with each other and the bartender. As always, it was a happy place to spend an evening, and I have to give our Plan B an A.
A YEAR AGO: ‘Tis the season for successful Plan Bs and visits to the bar.
FIVE YEARS AGO: The sparkle of Candlelit Shopping.
TEN YEARS AGO: The amazing lunar eclipse not only affected me deeply, but turned out to be the moment I lost my friend and beloved former father-in-law, Ed.
TWENTY YEARS AGO: My first visit to the gym.
