Back from a lovelier than lovely dinner with Jose and Alex Rybeck, who both were great dining partners. I had a large Caesar salad and a shrimp cocktail, Jose had the La Scala salad, and Alex had meat loaf. They shared a huge piece of pumpkin pie - I had not one bite. I also, for fun, jogged over to the restaurant, which Jose tells me is about three quarters of a mile, and I jogged back, too, so that's good. Plus a pretty low cal supper. Plus, I'm going to check out the exercise room right now. Of course, I stopped at CVS (a block away) and got some chocolate licorice to curb my sweet tooth.
