Japanese dinner on their desk- a totally mismatched group of people. Last night was a perfectly weird evening with Lyn and Paul. We wandered through the botanical garden by the Capitol. Afterward we walked to the Air and Space Museum and saw To Fly. Yesterday we had lunch at Sherill’s- then met Wendy at Garfinckel’s and went to the Corcoran. Armed by our relaxed comfort with each other. Immediately, I begin to feel centered and balanced in his presence. We had fried chicken and potato salad on the patio. I sit in the kitchen and write, listening to David shower upstairs.
