Dinner and Cookies

[ndrosen]

I had dinner with Cynthia; she showed up, we found a Seven Eleven where she got a cup of coffee, and then walked to Namaste Jalsa to pick up our takeout order, and back to the Patent Office. There was a little drama because the dinner didn’t include plastic utensils, and neither of us had brought silverware, but we checked the doors in three kitchenettes (on the fifth, fourth, and sixth floors), and found a couple or wrapped packets of plastic dinner utensils, so we were able to eat. I had mulligatawny soup, and then a spicy eggplant dish; she had bread and korma. Then I presented the chocolate chip cookies, one for each of us to eat then, and a baggie containing four for her to enjoy later.

She drove me home, and we hugged goodnight.

Lady, I am looking forward to more shared meals, more handholding, and more hugs. Thank you for the pleasure of your company. ❤️

I have read both the book from which you quoted, and most of what C.S. Lewis wrote for adults (which is not to deprecate the Narnia books). It seems a bit much (I hope that I will not offend you by saying this) to apply those words to a developing relationship between two mortals on this Earth; nonetheless, if things work out between us, I hope that we will make each other happier than we would be alone, or even with only cats. 😍

Our local sandwich shop always asks us, and I decline since we have utensils at home. At least now you know to bring them.

Glad it went well.

I remember that there was some court decision about the constitutionality of the way administrative patent judges were appointed. As to your gang members, I don’t think there’s actually anything in Article Three requiring federal judges to be human beings instead of cats.

You praise me far beyond my actual worth, and I really like it.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️** hug ** ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There's a long-running series of posts on C.S. Lewis over on tor.com that just ended recently. There're all kinds of wonderful insights into the author, his theology, ethics in general, & lots of good stuff. The series is indexed here:

You're very welcome. There're nearly 3 years of posts, so you'll have plenty to enjoy. If you finish those, there are years of various in-depth Tolkien discussions over on tor.com to savor.

Very well, thank you.

I clicked on the link, and read a couple of articles about the Narnia books; thank you for pointing them out to me (and to Cynthia, of course).

As always, you are very welcome, Nicholas. Thank you for sharing your companionship [and enjoyment thereof] with your delighted fans.
