I just got home and put a bottle of Pacific Rim Riesling in the refrigerator. It speaks to the way the week has been that one of the first things I do when I get home is to line up the booze. I have a bottle of Strongbow open on my desk-really, the best dry cider ever.
A box from Amazon was on the front porch when I got home. The new Harry Potter is finally ours (I’m sure both of us will read it during our August vacation). I’m always excited to see the smiling box even when I’m very much aware of the contents.
In a stunning turn of events, my lunch date canceled and as I was replying to her rescheduling email, I got an email from a friend of mine who said her lunch date canceled and could I meet for lunch. And, she had her car today (a legendary bus rider) so she could come uptown to somewhere near me. We had lunch at Six Burner which continues to be very tasty. She had a pork chop with cheese and jalapeno grits and I had a crab cake sandwich with steak fries. Delicious food and it had been awhile since we’d seen each other. I can’t do justice to our conversation here, but it is nice to see her so taken with her boyfriend. They’ve been going out since Christmas and I think they are having a blast. It’s very nice to see her so happy.
Well, that’s all for now. I hope your weekend is stunning.
