This afternoon, as I was returning from a walk I thought that perhaps I should stop and pick up some champagne for the house but decided against it as I was short on time. At five o'clock sharp, the buzzer rang and it was a friend from the neighborhood stopping by with a very good bottle of bubbly in thanks for a party my sister and I threw for his wife and him last fall. I invited him in for a bourbon, and I think I'll say that to everyone who comes by from now on. A nice visit with a friend, and I have just enough time to slip into a party dress and make it to the Upper East Side by seven, so long as I put my lipstick on in the cab.
Ah, would that I could have been there. 5:00 pm is my favorite drinking time.
