A LONG Friday


We left to go to the Y a little before 7 a.m., and I didn't get home until about 4 p.m. That's almost like WORK!!! I spent most of the day at the Studio/Gallery - we were bringing in art pieces, and getting the space ready to hang work. We'll go back again tomorrow for a few hours - nothing like all day today. We plan to have notices in the paper soon, and to say that we're "open" as of 1 May. I'm really achy tonight, even with some X-acetominophen.

There was no way I was going to cook anything. We had wanted to go to the new Mexican restaurant nearby - so we did. It's not Tex-Mex (not that we don't love that), but real Mexican cuisine. John had a "7 seas soup" - a huge bowl with crab legs, shrimp, fish, calamari, scallops - really enough for two. I had "fried fish" - a whole, tender, mild white fish, lightly seasoned and fried, with a crisp blackened skin, no breading, no greasy taste or feel. A wonderful meal! We'll keep going back there.

Kate was awakened this morning by the earthquake - and even realized what it was. Wayne and Andy slept through it. We didn't notice it here, although some people did.

After our usual PBS program line-up tonight, John turned on to an episode of M*A*S*H. It was the episode in which a correspondent interviewed the characters, and they gave unscripted answers to the questions. It's probably one of the best episodes they ever did in this magnificent program - and it was an EMMY winner, I believe
