Dinner at The Library

Standard

Monday, 13-April-2026

18 months. One year, and six months.

A serious relationship, and one worthy of celebration.

One of the things that I think Andrea and I do very well is celebrate each other, and our anniversaries. Monthly anniversaries, specifically – It’s not always some huge dinner, or a fancy occasion, but it’s always noted in some special way.

For 18 months, we made it a bit of a special occasion, though. There’s a restaurant Andrea had found called The Library – a fancy spot, promising good wine and good food, in a chic and classy environment.

Unfortunately, I’d say I recall it being around 3.5 stars. The cocktails were… interesting, but a bit underwhelming. The food was fun, but nothing stood out past underwhelming as well. The service, thankfully, was top notch (as we’ve come to expect from many Irish establishments), and the dessert was lovely.

It was a nice night out – I’m thankful we were able to go, and spend time with each other. At the end of the day, that’s the biggest thing.

A year of Dungeons & Dragons

A year ago, I met a new group of friends in my apartment building.

We met over nerdiness – pens and paper, rulebooks and a dry-erasable laminated map, figurines and dice. They appreciated the weird voices that I did for various characters, and liked the stories that I was making up. In turn, I enjoyed their energy, their creativity, and the characters they put together to play.

They picked an assortment of figurines to represent those characters, and ever since I’ve known those figurines to be that character, and that character alone.

The end of September marked the 1 year anniversary of our D&D game, and the 6th of October was our first session into the new year – marked with cake, excitement, and the amazing camaraderie that we’ve built throughout. I seriously can’t thank these amazing people enough for the fun and enjoyment I’ve gained from knowing them.

Here’s to another year!
