spent some time this a.m. working on administrative stuff and a couple of hours this p.m. actually practicing a little law.

Took off from the office early and picked up my Left Coast sister and she and I took a tour that included Sauced!, some of the better thrift stores and a 1/2 order of Onion Rings at Johnnie’s on Britton Road.  Just like 35 years had never happened, we just sort of trucked around town like gasoline was still 4 gallons for about a dollar.

After we parted, I came home and fixed my own special treat dinner:  cornbread and beans with ham, cut spring onions, sliced tomatoes, a garden salad with vinegar and oil dressing and sweet iced tea.

I topped that off with a chocolate dessert and coffee with cream at Rococo’s, where the Monday night jazz jam had attracted a bevy of beautiful young women, none of whom heard a single word from my mouth because I kept to myself, enjoying the thrill of violating the law and sneaking a cigaret.  Shy and  Issei were as good as always and I narrowly missed hearing Holly do her thing.  I almost did not notice a certain brainstorming design artist with his sketchpad.

Somewhere in there, I sqeezed in a little schmooze with MCARP, KelleyO, Andre and a certain beautiful foreigner who scooted out as soon as I arrived, all under a threatening sky out on the Paseo patios. 

I can’t think of many better ways to have an “ordinary” Monday and still have such a good time.
