Took the two o'clock train into Grand Central with mama and Hiroko and immediately got my boots polished. Then we took the Lexington bus up to Fifth Avenue and hit Fortunoff and Tiffany's. Lee joined us after his haircut and we looked for a gold watch for mama and cufflinks for me. I couldn't decide on what to get, so I finally took home three pairs: black beans, atlas bars, and knots.
Lee went home to get Charity and we proceeded to The W. Papa and then CJ showed up, so after a wee chat we headed around the corner to Smith & Wollensky's for some steak dinner. Eddie P got us the Guzofski Table right by the kitchen window and we had a mighty feast. In proper Small World fashion, CJ and Lee worked together in Morgan Stanley many moons ago, and we were trying to determine if CJ ever dated Kurt.
After dinner they brought a piece of chocolate cake for papa's birthday (tomorrow) and Hiroko got her own slice, too (since they're smaller now.)
We finally headed back to Lee and Charity's awesome new apartment on Gramercy Park South and exchanged silly gifts. They loved their "Jesus is My Homeboy" "Mary is My Homegirl" t-shirts, and my scorpion-in-amber Mexican belt buckle is a true show stopper (will go great with my new cufflinks.) Lee was all fired up so went around the corner for "just one drink" but ended up heading to karaoke next and doing some damage until 3 am.
