Leaving at the crack of dawn for St. Maarten – told G I’d pick her up at 4:45AM – it’s our company trip and she’s my date. Looking forward to just going going going – and getting there. Went by Cafe Minh tonight and Larry was our waiter again (Catherine helping him). Turns out he knows G’s new man friend – and knew a lot more than we expected. C came with us as G had absconded with his jacket the other night at Bacchanal and I had his MI III DVD that I hadn’t even had time to watch but needed to return since it is a rental.
I have to see if Rusty is still my cat when I get back – I have so much work waiting for me to return – the LaLa (what can I say?) – and then my SF trip is coming up in early February. I was speaking to TL today who had been contemplating Australia and now is thinking maybe something closer to home – the longing for a respite is palpable amongst the home renovators in this city – even Mississippi seems exotically far away right now.
