Tonight I have my choice of two social events being held at the same time at opposite ends of the city.

The first is a monthly gathering of local members of an organization to which I belong. I’ve been postponing my own attendance at these dinners for several months now. They are all fascinating people from whom I can learn a lot of new things. But their choices of restaurants are terrible. It’s been bad Chinese food, cheap buffets, chain restaurants, and old folks breakfast joints. Being the new girl, I think it would be rather bold to appear out of nowhere and relocate the gatherings to places that serve more nourishing and palatable food. Hmm, but now that I think about it, that doesn’t seem too unreasonable at all.

The second event is a meet-up of this year’s batch of NaNoWriMo authors. It’s going to be held at a café up in North Campus. This will be a great opportunity to meet new people and build a support group for the race that looms ahead.

Having to choose between two meet-and-greets is not a situation I’ve ever been before. This is weird. What to do, what to do…
