My old boss bought me a ticket to a benefit for the school for poor children he is an um.. benefactor for.
Something I haven’t done in a while. Caught up with people I see once a year. One of them just bought a Tesla. He really likes it.
More wine than I usually drink – really nice, too – I had no idea there was a Catalan region in France. A raffle, a rigged one – where I won a bottle – because my old boss likes me so.

Nice to catch up with an ex coworker. She is moving out of this unaffordable city, too, to New Jersey. She is an artist, a really good one, and did the right thing marrying a private equity surfer guy, but he is not doing well so no more city for them.

Commiserated about my trump-supporter refugee parents and her trump-supporter Iranian in-laws.

She bummed a cigarette from extremely douchebaggy young gay republicans outside who, unlike us, bought their own tickets to the benefit. They live nearby in Manhattan. Did not talk about politics.
