Sandy's birthday dinner

My wife informed me that "we" were invited to a mutual birthday dinner - to share with a mutual friend. It was Sandy's 64th celebration.

I couldn't remember a time, that Sandy and I, had been out to dinner together in over 6 months - so, I put my jacket on and Sandy did her nails. We met at some 'fancy-pants' place and sat down together with 5 other women. With my evening conversation focusing on the dog, Sandy's behavior was somewhat quiet, but overall seemingly happy and attentive.

After a good, but expensive meal we both walked outside, wherein Sandy informed me (just at that moment) that it was meant to be a "women's only (birthday) dinner".  Well then, boy did I waste a good 'dog' dinner conversation.
