We had room service for four this morning. Irene took everyone’s order, and then we all laughed while she sounded like Meg Ryan‘s character in When Harry Met Sally giving the order to room service on the phone. During breakfast, we listened to the first 10 minutes of the Kid Logic episode of TAL, which … Read more
Susan and I got up at about 10:00 feeling much less “sparkley” than we did when we went to bed.

I had this e-mail from Sarah this morning: Just a quick note to let you know that your email made my morning. As I am slogging through emails, yours was a lovely way to start my work day. I had an über-productive day, considering I didn’t “work” today. I got a lot of STC to-do … Read more
Robert brought me coffee in bed, and then he made me breakfast. Love that man. So sweet. I met E-Ching and David at just after 12:30, and we made the two-mile walk from their house to K&W at Cameron Village.
