Finally made it to the Orange Room
It’s a restaurant / bar in New West I’ve known about for some time but I’ve never been. Véronique and I had a bit to eat and a little something-something to drink, and it was very yummy and convivial. I am hoping at some point to get custody of the church website, currently her bailiwick, so we worked through my extreme rudeness in asking for it when I wasn’t really authorized by the Board to do that (sorry!) and how any handoff will be handled in this ‘real life’ we keep hearing about.
I recommend the Orange Room; pricey but really nice and comfy.
We also talked about some trends in second wave feminism which includes a culture war with transpeople, which I had been dimly aware of but not really up on, and candidly it’s appalling, but it’s hard for me to entirely sort out how icky it is because I’m not in possession of some background. Anyway, I need more reading material, so I asked for it. I do think gender essentialism, unless you’re talking about the mechanics of getting and bearing children, needs an enema.
Katie has moved into a place with the help of her father. I came home and the top mattress off my bunk bed was gone – so that’s done.
