re-introduction to the wild

Last night I went out. By myself. For longer than fifteen minutes. And had a beer.

I put the baby to sleep at around 9:30 and then sat on the couch with Tom feeling nervous and giddy like I was about to do some naughty. The conversation went something like this.

Me- She'll be alright, right?

Tom-Yes.

Me-You'll call if she wakes up right?

Tom-Sure.

Awkward pause.

Tom-You should get going if you're going to go.

Me-Yeah I guess so.

So I made the five minute walk around the corner to the Princeton to see my friends' band Bad Fate. And once I got over my initial paralyzing worry about Leila I had a good time. I talked about things other than babies. I giggled. I got to hang out with my two former room mates, Ben and Aaron, who I love more than most men. And when I got home, Leila was still asleep.

Eons ago, in the house of the rising sun with Benjuan and Aaroncho, ok Aaron's paint shop pro'd in.
This was our "album cover"
