"Saturday, we began the evening at Neil and Donna's with a lovely single malt and great appies then headed out to the Gramercy Grill. Jim and I both began with the beef carpaccio, then the seared duck for me and NY steak for Jim. Donna started with the beet and goat cheese salad then the veal milanese. Neil had the steak and Jim and Neil both had the flourless chocolate cake and Donna and I had the pecan pie....I passed up the lemon tarte for a change! Washed down with See Ya Later Pinot Noir. Excellent food and drink!
Then, today, we went to see "Quartet"....really enjoyed it but we have a weakness for Maggie Smith for lots of reasons, not least that we saw her live in Edinburgh in Albee's "A Delicate Balance". Those were the days when so many of the famous still did live theatre...in 1972 we saw Laurence Olivier in Long Day's Journey into Night for 30p at the Old Vic (our very first play in London), Alan Bates in The Caretaker, for around a pound, Glenda Jackson in White Devil for around the same...and others I can't remember now."
The paperwork for the condo down here was unreal...about 500 pages the end. This is part of it. When we sold our house that Spring we had four pages of paperwork.
