Meet me at the Markt!

About half the times that I pass a certain nearby plaza, I feel a little twinge. See, this is the spot where I ran into an old classmate last summer. We had a great chat and promised to get together for lunch. And I really meant it--or, at least, I thought I did. Yet somehow I've never picked up the phone and set a date. I keep meaning to, of course, but it's never quite the right time. When I think about this, I feel a bit bad, because it means I'm not the awesome outgoing guy I like to believe I am.

Even before we got the new place, I felt like I'd been withdrawing from social activities. Since then, it's become the perfect excuse not to do anything. Oh, I can't make plans, we may have to do something on the house. I thought I'd compensate for this by finally having a proper housewarming and inviting everyone who I should've been keeping up with all along. Of course, the date for this keeps receding into the future and, in the meantime, I'm still spending all my time without my same four walls.

So consider this a desperate stab outwards: This Friday evening, I will be at the Daley Plaza Christkindlmarket. I'm not sure when I'll arrive, but I'll be hungry when I do so I'll probably make a beeline for the grilled meats and Kartoffelpuffer I've been craving. If any of you are around and aren't in a hurry to escape downtown after work, please join me for Glühwein and Gemütlichkeit. I'll have my cell, and if you know what time you might be arriving, we can set up a rendezvous point.

Ha! If I didn't have a rehearsal to go to that night I'd seriously consider walking there after work and seeing if I could guess which mysterious stranger you might be.

I'm flying out for vacation that day.

However, in general I want to offer my sincere agreement about the social calendar issue. The number of people (including my immediate family) that I don't see anywhere near as often as I'd like is staggering. I pretty much know why, and it isn't the way I'd like it to be, but its a difficult thing to change. :)

I'm going to a play on Friday, so can't do it then.

However, I'm going to the Lyric on Saturday and would be up for an early dinner before their pre-opera talk at 6:30. Any interest in getting together then?

I think monshu has another shopping trip lined up for us then, but I'll let you know!

I'm interested in both Gluhwein and Gemutlichkeit! I'll be there, but similarly I don't know what time yet. It would have to be after 7:30, since I don't get home commonly until 6:30.
