THE limo

Well I didn't intend to capitalize the THE but it works for this story. We went off to have dinner in the Village with friends last night carrying our contribution of french bread and blue and red Le Creuset pots full of short ribs. Yesterday was cold and rainy, snowy and generally disagreeable with people on every street corner trying to hail cabs. So we agreed that we might abandon our principles about only taking yellow cabs and take a Black Car if one came by. One came by and we passed but as the situation became colder and more desperate, we reverted to plan B. So we agreed to take the next Limo or Black Car that came by. And lo: it was a white stretch Limo that had 12 seats, indirect lighting, air conditioning, wines by the glass and a very chatty Wewst Indikan driver who regaled us with stories about the rich and famous. Clearly something we weren't as he rescued us from our corner of Madison Avenue. We are so uncool that we called our friends to alert them to our arrival by stretch limo. We had such a great time and as the driver drove off he was chuckling that he had made our day. Indeed he had.

That was just the perfect kick off for Christmas Vacation. We leave on Monday for Columbus and a week of festivities....yowsah, yowsah. We are all so looking forweard to this. Bring it on.
