Dinner with the gals

I met up with Holly and Jeannine last night for a 6:30 dinner at McCormick and Schmicks on Rodeo (I like that it's in walking distance). Though it took me only seven minutes to walk over, Holly had a grueling 1.5 hour drive from Simi, and Jeannine spent an hour coming from downtown. I was glad to see them. (That is Holly's Highlander coming up Rodeo in the photo.)



I couldn't help whipping out my birthday pen from William Ernest Brown; it's a Faber Castell that writes like a dream.

Michael Perfetuo moved here from Massachusetts in 2004 to pursue his dream of (!) becoming an actor. He is always so professional (he was playing the role of the waiter).

Both Holly and Jeannine enjoyed the rich, creamy, fresh lobster bisque. Although it is my very favorite, I declined, as I was martini-ying it up.

Holly was wearing her new Tiffany necklace from Philip (Mother's day gift). She told me that she moved up "from Ben Bridge to Tiffany, and from Flaky Jakes to McCormick and Schmicks!" Philip always picks the best gifts.
