Re: [Downtown Dharma Listserve] Kudos to Rebecca Ratner on her interesting study about going out alone

Yay Rebecca is right! Before I move to DC I used to travel here to work and had a decent Per diem so i used to go out to nice restaurants in Dupont Circle by myself.

And after I moved here I thought why stop? So I have no problem going out to a nice fancy dinner and theater or movie by myself. Going by yourself you can get great tickets – I got second row seats to the Bolshoi ballet at the Kennedy Center a few years back.

It makes for great people watching too. I enjoy it a lot.
