3 Nights, 3 Social Dinners

The last three nights, I went out to three unexpected dinners. Fun but exhausting! Here is the summary (I wish I had photos!):

Wednesday night: attended a local conference during the day. Invited to dinner by a just-graduated former undergrad. He and his wife (they're so young and cute, jewish, pretty religious) had a few people over for dinner. The food was excellent, and the company was too.

Thursday night: attended the second and last day of the local conference, co-organized by my boss R. The speakers were going to dinner at this fancy place called Harvest, and there were some extra spots, so guess who got invited! Dinner was amazing. Had a white-and-green asparagus salad, some really good beef with fingerling potatoes, great syrah, and valrhona (sp?) chocolate souffle. Yum! Plus, I got to talk to cool people.

Friday night: an Israeli who now lives in the US, who I met at the conference, invited me to celebrate Shavuot with some of his friends. They live just a 15-min walk from my place, so very convenient. The company was once again excellent.

Today I think I will have an alone day. I've lost a lot of sleep recently, and I started making it up yesterday. I'm going to work on that some more today, and also just on relaxation and other personal progress.
