Since I worked at Jean-Robert at Pigall’s this evening, my dinner was the remains of ‘family meal’ — barbecued chicken. It was a simple meal because the official mealtime was over, but I was grateful for the food since I was hungry!

My restful evening was interrupted when Wendy arrived home and informed me that we had to go get a birthday present for a friend of our’s whose party we’re attending this weekend. Wendy has thrown her back out so was in considerable discomfort (that my…
