The Joy of Friends
We had dinner last night with our charming friends Chris and George. (George officiated our wedding and Chris was our witness.) They made quiche, and the other dinner guest (a gorgeous boy named Joseph who had eyes like Elijah Wood) made some delightful poached pears for dessert. Chris is working on a web site with information about gay marriage and religion, and we talked a bit about that. We also started planning their wedding, somewhat hopefully, perhaps. It's sort of bittersweet to talk about a longtime pair being able to marry after years of discrimination; we still don't know how the court case will go, although the courts give hope when they don't capitulate immediately to the Religious Right.
The highlight of the evening was right after dinner, when George and Noel went into the music room and played a delightful duet for piano and organ. They play well together, and seem to have a good time doing it, too. Last weekend, Chris and I went up into the studio and painted for a few hours while they played together. It was all very arty and sophisticated of us (except that I got thalo blue all over myself and everything I touched).
We're planning to spend a week or two together at George's summer house in Maine this summer, probably in August sometime (subject to graduate school schedules, of course). We want to bring Rosie out and see whether she'll swim out to the island alongside the canoe. I think she'd have a great time there. It'll be nice, too, to get away from the rest of the world and just relax. We're planning to drive across, stopping in Ithaca to visit my parents and possibly in Minneapolis to see Noel's. I'm looking foward to the trip, even though it will add a certain urgency to the construction shedule for the workshop we want to build in our backyard, and it may come just as I'm making arrangements to move across the country for graduate school.
