If you can't stand the heat, get out of the heat.

Busy, busy day. It gets worse because the furnace seems to kick up at 4:00 and the radiators are blasting heat. By 5, it's so sweltering you want to rip the head off of James the mail room guy. Forget about trying to catch up on work. It's a perfect reason to leave work and go get cocktails. Lucky for us, one of our printers are having a cocktail party for us at PUNCH down the block. Open bar and floating appetizers of lobster cakes, calamari and beef saté. Had a easy time. LeeAnn being vegan, was still very hungry. We went down to Frank in the East Village. Jammed pack but we somehow got a table with plenty of room around us as soon as we walked in. Had a great time eating gnocchi and rigatoni and chianti and talking of bad love, but not with each other. It's still cold out but the Sun is staying out longer and the shadows are getting shorter. With the weekend forecasted to be 62°, Spring is definitely coming.
