The visit is almost over and I still don't have any justification for it, other than the fact that my life is always enhanced on many levels when I get together with this particular group of women.
We spent the evening in Park Slope, having a quiet (sort-of, other than the uproarious laughter)dinner at the home of Catherine Bohne. She owns Community Bookstore; which in all of my travels, remains one of my all time favorite places on earth. Her website does a good job of communicating the vibe of her store, but you still need to pet a cat or dog while shopping for or discussing book selections.
Food is always part of a NYC visit. The trip is mostly about time together, so we've refrained from parking for hours in the midst of some poor server's livelihood; and instead have enjoyed the very European experience of fresh cheeses, bread, wines and fruit at home. Normally I have some personal food rules that keep dairy and wheat at a minimum, but I'm also a Southern Girl, so I can use that ingrained politeness as an excuse to relax and enjoy my visit. (Besides, the Union Square Farmer's Market was today ... yum!)
Tonight is our last night in town, so dinner and a brainstorm session with The Lindas, and Wendy Dubit.
Before I left, The Hubby said, "Please promise that if you women manage to take over the world this week, you do so without pissing off too many people."
