What we have been doing the last few weeks....

Let's see ... my sister had us over to her apartment for dinner, where she and a friend made some great Italian food. You can see our loyal low altitude sidekick pestering both of them for nibblings.



My sister has done a good job decluttering her apartment and it has turned into a nice compact home that gets good light. The kitchen is pretty usable in fact; it doesn't really matter how big or small your workspace is since Lena will always get underfoot.



Our dear friends Jacques & Jill had a nice pool party out in Westchester, which was blessed by perfect swimming weather and great food and wine. I took the train up there and was graciously ferried back and forth to his house by Dale and Pappa.

There were a lot of serious old wines there, including 69 Heitz C block, 89 Fleur de Gay, lots of Corton Charlemagne and Batard Montrachet and more. Gio brought a pair of Dom's to compare 95 to 96 side by side, which was cool, but probably overkill by that point.


Zamfir after coming back from the groomers, reposing on his silk pillow. Whenever new sheets get put on the bed, he quickly pounces on them. He also loves to snooze in clean laundry; but he's learned the danger of sitting in the dirty laundry basket.
