Round Up

We all dressed up on Friday in our best bib and tucker for a celebratory dinner at the Cos Club with Grandma Dot to mark our 5 years as a family. I had bought Kate a really pretty pink sundress with tigers several weeks ago and exhorted her not to crumple it in a ball and step on it. At least not until after this dinner. After all why hang things up? Actually I think I did the simply dropping of clothes on the floor and stepping on them for many years until I had to pay for my own dry cleaning and laundry. Deprivation is the mother of innovation. I'm sure thats not how that saying goes. Kate looked gorgeous and to my mind appropriate. Arnie looked very handsome and since I had just been to my high school reunion -- not telling how many years ago that was -- I looked as good as I possibly could. After all when you haven't seen people in years, you want to stun them with how good you look. Don't you? But my high school reunion was great and I was reminded of how important these sub groups are in one's life. I have kept up with many of these women over the years and see right now that Kate keeps in touch with nobody. Arnie either. I am the super duper track 'em down and keep in touch. Important. So we all gathered for dinner with Grandma Dot and were able to sit outside for drinks and then have dinner on the porch of the Club which made me think that I was in Italy. How great is that?

Then Saturday night after we picked Kate up from a bat mitzvah she didn't want to go out -- again a sensational night to pass amongst them -- we went out alone. Tamarind Margharitas and Indian Food. That did me in quite happily.

Made a presentation today for the office on social networking. Always fun to sound authoritative...maybe not accurate....
