Cod and curry
05.17.2003Dinner at Aparna & Sabi's along w/ Kevin and Katia. Of course, the food was delicious — especially the cod. These rare little get togethers between us are always fun. And always plenty of wine at first, then coffee later.
Conversation got a little heated once the topic of The War came up. Kevin and I certainly didn't see eye-to-eye on that one. Which is fine; disagreement between friends isn't the end of the world. So long as no one dogmatically assumes the other's views are ridiculous. In the end, many of the arguments I posted here in the last several months got rehashed — along w/ some new ones.
As we were leaving (around midnight), Sabi gave me an article to read. It's from The New York Times Magazine, by Paul Berman, about the philosophical underpinnings of Al Qaeda. I've not yet started reading it, but I look forward to it.
