Sun + Wine = Good Times


My New Lens

The new column for The Simon will be a little delayed this morning because last night Hillary and went out for a dinner down on the LES. We went to Le Pere Pinard which seems to be the latest Yuppie watering hole south of Houston.

It was a forgettable meal. The spicy shrimp salad was too spicy and, I never thought I would ever say this, the Bordeaux was sour. Sour! I never met a Bordeaux I didn't like, but last night I finally did. I scoff at Le Pere Pinard.

Hillary and I boozed a little more, hitting Pianos and Max Fish. All good times. Then I walked home, stopped at the Virgin Mega Store and bought myself a little Mister Softee, even though I am lactose intolerant. Strangely, it didn't make me ill.

By the way, the new Raconteurs album is awesome. Please get it. I also got En Vogue's greatest hits, because 1990 was a great year.

Quelle belle jour, mes amis! I hope you all get out to enjoy the sunshine.
