Thought about going to church, but I sort of chickened out. I’m trying to hook up Callahan with Helen and Jay for a potential nanny gig, but I have to remove myself from this middle-man stuff.  Went for a walk with Mary and we went to Marche’ for lunch, which was good. Had 2 glasses of Chardonnay. (Light, Citrus-y, $10) and when I went home I took a king-size nap.  Grimey called and said El Mariachi was on. Went there and Emily and John Deaderick were there, and Mark Deaderick and Jen Masselli just came back from Europe and we looked at their travel photos. I like looking at photos without someone’s explanation. “This is the Eiffell Tower”, etc. Sarah and Amy Patterson were there, and they were smoking in stereo. Also Grimey and Mindy of course, and Kat and Bill, and Kate and Kristy West showed up for a minute. Lisa York and I can’t think of anyone else. Had 2 beers and shrimp and vegetables. ($16) Home and watched a great movie: “The Station Agent” and I realize I had beers with that guy Peter Dinklage in New York once, because he’s a friend of Ethan Hawke’s. I loved this movie. Great tone, great feeling. It was absolutely exactly what I wanted to be watching. Put it on pause, and to make something great even better, I went to Kroger’s and got mango and lemon sorbet and ginger snaps and some other stuff for the house ($38) To bed at 11 and read the end of “Goodbye Mr. Chips”
