Don't cry for me
I won't let you. I don't deserve it. I played hooky for lunch today and took a taxi down to the Village (Laguardia between Bleeker and West 3rd) where I met an old friend for lunch. We sat outside. We watched the fetching young women in their summer dresses parade back and forth in front of the restaurant. We drank a bottle of Gavi, a happy Italian summer wine. The breezes blew on us gently. The trees shaded our table. The anchovies were strong. The fish was fresh. The espresso was properly bitter. And two hours after arriving, it qualifies as almost the ideal summer hooky day. Tomorrow we are back in trial but today, today I am an escapee.

sounds like fun. We just got back from a retreat near the beach, and it was so relaxing just to sit out in the sun and wind, even though we were still working.

That sounds awesome.
I am jealous, the closest thing to a retreat near my office is an empty field with 4 - 5 foot hight weeds. Having your office in an industrial district sucks hard.
I miss the summer dresses.
