To stay current and involved with some of the many friends I have made during my career I have made it a point to meet with old friends on a regular basis for coffee or lunch. There is a direct correlation between the closeness I feel towards the person and the extent of my intake. Really good friends, long lunch and so on.....
We tend to meet at a new place in the SOTO section of Stamford. This made up acronym stands for South of Town and is on the verge of being overrun with loft and loft style apartments with lofty prices. Pane Le Quotidian is the chain of faux French pastry shops springing up in the metro area. Some are poorly lit and overcrowded, all are overpriced! The one in SOTO is well lit, on the ground floor of one of the newly converted loft buildings and actually very inviting.
Given what I did for a living, most if not all of my acquaintances are women. I wonder, as I arrive 2-3 times a week to meet a different woman, if the waitstaff thinks I am looking for a job, a date, or a wife.
Keep 'em guessing.
