Dinner with Friends

Maryandjan1Last night we went out to dinner with Nancy, Mary and her husband Jim, and Laurence Cummings.

We went to Le Deuxieme and it was excellent, as always. We were a jolly group and had champagne, wine and a few of us even had sticky toffee for dessert.

I feel so lucky to know such interesting and fun people; it was a great evening.

And at last here is a photo of me and Mary. I realized after all this time I didn't have a photo of her and me so John took a few. This one is a little fuzzy because the lights weren't up to full. We took others with better lighting but this one's my favorite. Hi, Mary!

Hi Jan and John
Its 10pm here and I'm not quite sure how I'm still awake but there's nothing like a glass of red wine and a cup of ice cream to help me get reaclimated to home. After showing the kids your blog, I feel like I just left Mary's home away from home. Hopefully there will be better opportunities in the future to thank you for being Mary's friend thru all of this. I know that Laurence sees the wide net of support that came together for this production but for others I think their gaze is else where. Tomorrow I return to what seems like a small inconsequential life as CFO; like my shirt and tie cover a costume that I forgot to remove and my smile hints of some secret adventure.
Now off to bed...JD
