It's taken me over a month to return the The Met after an unfortunate incident at Admissions. Does everyone pay the full admission price? Rhetorical question...Ain't no one gonna guilt me about my donation, damn it.

So it was with some hesitation that Elyse and I headed over last night. I paid more than usual, and made her give the money for both of us. Once safely inside we enjoyed the hell out of some American Wing.

I found a bunch of old photos this morning. Look at this picture of my other mookie, Claire! This was taken years ago in my old kitchen in Blacksburg, VA. I had so many books, and was such an intellectual! I painted! Claire is one of my oldest friends. She a high roller in Las Vegas now, and is helping me weed my way through some real estate jargon as we start the process of looking for the next Chez Saipua upstate. Now I just need to get the cash moneyzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

This is a birthday arrangement from last weekend - them there in front are some leaves from one of my favorite begonias. (R, if you want you can root those...just put them in some water in a sunny window for a few weeks till they grow roots, then plant in potting soil.)

ps. I found a perfume that I finally like. I have looked for ages. Nasomatto - Duro. It says on the website that it "aims to enhance all the manifestations of male strength." To which i say, "Oh HELL yes."

Shot from the SE Corner of 63rd & Columbus. From inside what is now P.J. Clark's Irish Pub. What a drag.

p.s. Aaron is supposedly coming to town tonight. So you can look forward to those photos instead. I've got to get to the store to stock all his favorites: Truffle oil, Smart Start, mangos, Triscuits. Aaron likes anything you can spread on a Triscuit.
