"The idea of getting high on someone else's dime
sounded like the right and necessary medicine."

I love it when someone else picks up the tab.
We had dinner last night at a pretty fancy French restaurant with pretty fancy food and pretty fancy wine that cost someone a pretty penny.
But we didn't have to drop a nickel.
We were guests at a dinner event hosted by a business associate of my husband's who paid for everything -- the food, the drinks, the giant Wonka-sized chocolate bars they handed out at the end.
We ate way too much of the good food. We drank way too much of the good wine. We had way too much fun with the good people sitting around our table.
The timing was even good. We both needed a night out, and a night off.
Going out to dinner with my husband is always good.
Going out to dinner with my husband on someone else's dime is like chocolate pennies from heaven.
