A Stellar Saturday

Last night my best friend since the tenth grade showed up nearly unannounced on my doorstep and it was a perfect surprise! He was on his way to renew his diving coach certification today and we had a lovely tea party by candlelight around midnight -- I showed him my adorable childrens' masks from Edinburgh and we laughed and laughed as we always do -- then again around dawn before he left and then I fell back asleep and when I woke up around eleven it all seemed like the most wonderful dream that I could have. Now I'm going to put on something dashing and go feed my imagination at the ballet. I might even stroll to Gimme Coffee on my way for nostalgia's sake.  I remember the one that opened up while I was in college in Ithaca so fondly -- it was an oasis -- and it's a delight to have one in Nolita now! In the meantime, there's plenty new at The New You, including many more books I'd love to send if you'll let me...
