Didn’t walk the dogs, just put them out back to play, and they did, and came back in huffing and puffing. I have to get a baby gift for Ang. Stayed in my pj’s until about 10:15, when Natalie called and she said she was already in the neighborhood, and could she come early, so we started writing about 11, and we finished at about 5, after going to Kalamata’s for lunch. I forgot I mentioned something to L. about going to the meditation thing, so when I called her when we were done she was disappointed. “I waited for you.” But things perked up when we went to Ombi, for “Restaurant Week” and it was excellent. Trout and parsnips, Muscles and Heirloom Tomatoes, Gnocci and Brussels sprouts. Chocolate Pot du Creme, heavenly. Lovely wine, too, and Jeanne got a bit tipsy. Home and played the song for L. that Natalie and I wrote: “After Dark” – It currently has a key change, but i’m not sure I don’t like it better if it stays in the original key. Then again, “I’ll Stand By You” has like 2 key changes in it, and I love that. Did an interview with Jeanne and took some portraits of her, but couldn’t post them from the laptop, Apple told me when I called them.
