T minus 15 days

One day more than two weeks before T returns and yesterday I thought I couldn’t take another day. The good news is that we are readjusting this summer’s schedule – no four week periods – they are just too long – so they will be cut down to two week separations. It’s hard on her to travel this much – but it is harder not to. I’m going to quit pouting and rejoice that I…

When life is art

My friend Ivette from Puerto Rico – a woman of the millennium – took a photograph of Tatjana and me at Mardi Gras. I blew up the photograph to 4 x 6 foot and it is hanging in my office. A Mardi Gras poster for sure. Yesterday, my friend Kim Frohsin, a super talented artist said that this photo is part of her screen saver. I love that! I was thinking of sending it to…

Last night when I called down for my wake up call, the woman said,…

But wait there’s more

I am so tired but this just popped into my head – instead of screaming Tatjana, I could have screamed her nickname Tonya, which does approach Stella and I think I could have made it work.

I’m in the wrong business

M called to say that the painters would back on Wednesday. I said candidly, “Is it because you like me that you start a job on Thursday and disappear and then don’t return for almost a week. Is it because you like me you treat me this way?” He said, “It’s because I like you that I started the job when I did, I can’t help it if my painters have to go home to…
