C,
I was trying to think of a good place to meet my friend, M in DC the other day – one that would be more fun than a regular restaurant – but the only places I could come up with were the Chevy Chase Lounge, or the Zebra Lounge. (In DC, apparently, lounges have yet to go the same way as the water bed – speaks volumes, don’t you think?) Anyway, as you know, the CC lounge seems to be a pick-up joint for sad, middle-aged divorcees, while I have never dared venture into the second, for fear that people will think I’m just there to get my kid. (Note: I get the same feeling any time I am foolish enough to stray into Abercrombie & Fitch.) The only place I can think of that is really suitable for someone in denial (about so much, but principally, age) like myself is Jaleo, but just how many carafes of sangria can you drink, before the dark thoughts return?
Let me know if you think of anywhere suitable for a couple of MMMs (Married, Middle-aged Moms) to be seen in – preferably one with lots of flattering dark shadows.
Faithfully,
P.
