Good Afternoon!

When I met my friend, David, at the finish area after this morning's AIDS Run & Walk Chicago, I gave him a big hug... And just started crying. Tears of Joy. Tears for Loved Ones I Still Miss Greatly. Tears of Happiness.

What an amazing way to start to my day! -And part of what's truly been one of the most amazing vacations - experiences! - I've ever had.

DR Ben - That's so cool about your DC Trip/Gift! -And I love Bistro D'Oc. And if you haven't checked out the recently renovated Ford's Theatre Museum, you could do so before dinner since Ford's is right across the street.

*And I'll be back in DC too as of tomorrow afternoon.

Popovers
Crabcake Benedict
Biscuits & Debris Gravy

And Chicory Coffee, of course!

Hoping KINKY BOOTS is great! Some folks we wish wonderful things for are in it!

DR FJL - And I will be seeing Kinky Boots tonight. In fact, Adinah Alexander got me the ticket! I'll be sure to give her a big hug from you and Skip.

And so does THE GOOD WIFE and THE MENTALIST. Remember if you watch or Record on CBS add extra time if there is football on before it.

Rebecca is off again. Again.

Thank You, DR TCB - I took a few more along the route. I'll be spending some time this coming week going through, editing and "curating" the almost 2000 photos I've taken over the past two weeks.

It's a beautiful day in Manhattan.

We were out and about early. We went to Penn Station to pick up our tickets for DC. We are having a small trip/honeymoon courtesy of a dear old friend. She didn't know what to do/what to get us for our wedding and she decided she should give us a trip to DC (she lives there). We are old friends (35 years) from college and after and this is a great present.

We leave Friday morning on the Acela Express Business Class and return Sunday evening. We are being housed at the

Mayflower Hotel

On Saturday evening we are being taken to dinner at

Bistro D'Oc

We're meeting Karen and Melinda, another friend who pairing with Karen to make the gift, for drinks at the Lounge in the hotel on Friday evening.

On Saturday during the day we may go to

President Lincoln's Cottage in DC

We will probably have brunch on Sunday somewhere in Dupont Circle and then play in the city until our train back early Sunday evening.

We are very excited about our trip and the gift from our very generous friends.

Sounds wonderful have a great time

Did Monkey take the photos from the Run / Walk?

After brunch, David and I strolled up and down Clark Street and came up this...

Puppet Bike

So cute! So giggle-inducing!

Monkey, I believe, got one photo inside of Soldier Field - which was the Starting/Finishing Line.

I'm taking a break from the movie. It's very, very intense but I'd forgotten how visually beautiful it is. Derek Jarman's sets are really interesting and Shirley Russell's costume design is stunning. I love Gemma Jones, and I'd forgotten how large her role is. I'd also forgotten all of the cross cutting between characters: Louis XIII's smug laugh cutting to Vanessa Redgrave's insane one, Regrave's erotic fantasies cutting with the wedding ceremony. All I remembered of the film were the politics and the nuns' public displays of possession. I'm at the point where Redgrave's Soeur Jeanne des Anges has wigged out over the edge from too much erotomania - I worry about Mikey flipping out as well! - and confessed to Father Mignon that the priest comes to her at night as a demon and ravishes her. The political circus is about to begin. It's as crazy as Salem, only lewder.

I couldn't stomach that film forty years ago, so I doubt I wll rush out and buy a copy of the DVD.

Thanks.

We got our flu shots and then went for a relaxing walk wishing Sherlock was with us.

Jane · « **Reply #89 on:** September 30, 2012, 02:53:09 PM »

When we returned home there was an email from the artist who did the Sherlock Holmes painting of our Sherlock. She sent us a pic of her newest work, possible to be made into Christmas cards. She didn't put it on FB or I would share it here. It is from a photo Keith took when Sherlock was 4 1/2 months old.
