Saturday night, I joined my parents for dinner at Trattoria Casa Di Isacco (absolutely glowing review to come) and then saw Up In the Air while Kendrick headed downtown to meet up with our friend Amanda. While slogging back home through the raging blizzard that is currently shutting down the entire city, I realized that I had left my keys at home. Of course. 

BUT!

I heard the delicate strains of “Crazy in Love” streaming out from Jack Russel’s Pub, across the street, and trudged gallantly through the snowdrifts in search of tequila and a warm place from which to call Kendrick and instruct him to come home and save me immediately. While waiting, I met reader Erica and two very sweet guys who were on a fundraising pub crawl to benefit cancer research.
