Weekend Woundup
I spent Saturday writing, mostly, and Tom was at work. I turned out a behemoth of an article and I’m uncharacteristically having a hard time cutting it down. Through a bloodletting I managed to get 400 words cut today but I still may have 400 more, which means cutting a major point. Thankfully, I have a good editor, so we’ll see what she says.
Yesterday was my darling husband’s 25th birthday. We had a grand time after church at lunch with 15-or-so people at Khyber Pass (Afghani). We chose it partially because there’s inexplicably never anyone there when we go. The food is great, the price is right, you can sit in the window if your group is small enough, and we’ve been half a dozen times.
Tom’s parents drove us out to Brooklyn and helped install the air conditioning, thankfully, so we slept soundly last night for the first time in a month (cool air, and since the windows were closed, we didn’t hear the trucks or the very loud drunk people that are invariably outside at 3am). Bliss.

Happy Birthday, Tom!
Glad you’ve now got A/C. I’m working on that . . . ick. Dreading July.

I am going back in time to September of 2006, when you panned Elegant Touch Catering. I was thinking of using them for a post-wedding Sunday brunch up in Rhinebeck, New York. Apparently, you do not think highly of them. Anything you’d care to share? I really know nothing about them and would appreciate any info I can gather — especially if they are horrible!
Thanks much. Martha.

Any way you can respond ASAP to my query re: Elegant Touch Catering? They have just submitted an estimate to me that is okay, but I don’t want to hire them if they are awful.
Any advice? Comments? Suggestions?
