CAREFREE
Was really not looking forward to cooking dinner last night so Cindy and I went back to an old standby: A'Float Sushi.
Cindy first introduced this fine Old Town establishment back when we first met. She used to go there with her friend Misty, during the Pre-ArtCenter years.
Even though I wasn't there, I always imagine those times to be so fun for Cindy. I imagine her enjoying life without a care in the world. A kind of charmed, innocent sort of life.
And now it's a bit different. I can't help but feel like I've complicated her life somewhat... what with my problems, my faith and politics and family and friends and everything that comes with me. And not just me. There's the job. She's got bills to pay. She's got school loans.
It isn't a bad life. It's just part of the progression of life, but it just seems more complicated.
While I was telling her this, she said to me: That's true, but I was just going to say that 10 years from now, we are going to look back at nights like tonight and think about how carefree we were then.
And that's true too. I sincerely doubt that in 10 years we will be able to pick up and eat weeknight sushi on a whim.
I can't believe I originally wanted to poo-poo the whole sushi on a boat concept. I was so wrong. A'Float has become our favorite casual + affordable sushi joint. They are still surprising us too. Yesterday's gem: Escolar sushi for $2.60!!!
