Earl and I were supposed to meet friends for dinner last night, but they had a family emergency and couldn't make it. We decided to go out, anyway; after all, we had a babysitter, and it was Earl's birthday celebration.
We went to The Tavern at Granite Links, and loved it. It was a clear, cold night, and we had a lovely view of the lights of Boston, twinkling in the darkness. The food was wonderful. The service was less wonderful: we had to request a wine list and plates for our bread, and our waiter wasn't as attentive as he could have been. But overall, it was a terrific dinner and a nice place to go. We'll try it again, hopefully with our friends next time.
On the way home, we stopped at Montilio's for dessert. What's a birthday celebration without cake? We split a piece of German chocolate (my favorite) and a coffee. We noticed that Montilio's delivers pizza, and wondered if they'd deliver their desserts. Now that's something I'd like to see: a dessert delivery service.
Of course, that is precisely what I don't need. But it's fun to think about.
We had a nice date, our first since November. We've really got to do that more often.

That sounds lovely! We had date night too! Went and saw "Last Chance Harvey." Pretty good date movie. She though it fantastic. I thought it good. Emma and Dustin were great, the movie around them pretty good.
Glad you had a good date. Keep doing it. It's worth it.
