Just Jack!
When Matt and I moved to Salem back in 2001 we became friends with some neighbors, Peter and Duncan (for the record, Salem is probably the gayest place I’ve ever lived…the city is crawling with homos). Peter and Duncan introduced us to their friend, Jack, and we all hung out on occasion.
But a year or so later, Jack moved from Topsfield (where he worked in philanthropy/non-profits) to Boston (where he became a real estate broker). Over the years I’ve stayed in touch with Jack – albeit not very well – and we’d go through stages where we get together more frequently than others.
Last night was one of those occasions. We met up for dinner at NeBo (a restaurant on the edge of the North End) and caught up on everything that has gone on in our lives sinces we last saw each other in September. That means we talked about everything from Randy (who I’d met just a week before Jack and I last hung out) to Amsterdam (Mike and I had told him about a great place to stay) to Japan and to work (and his desire for a new career)…and everything else in between.
It was great catching up – and he never ceases to make me laugh or engage people around him in conversation. Last night the other person was the waitress – who we learned was taking her boyfriend skiing for Valentine’s Day. I’m not quite sure how it got started, but Jack and the waitress even got into talking about the benefits of cover-up and how (and where) to apply it.
There are some things I just don’t want to know.

Sienna Miller says she got makeup put on her butt to cover up stretch marks while doing her nude scenes in Factory Girl. And why does she have stretch marks ON HER ASS????? Care to enlighten us Jude?
Seriously. Where are we putting concealer that freaks out KARL? Jeeze. I have so much to learn.
Maybe on those pesky ass-zits, when one wishes to wear chaps to the leather ball?
For the record – i’ve never worn cover-up (or any other make-up, for that matter).
This conversation was between Jack and waitress. Though, Jack was talking about chaps at one point (not with the waitress).
