It's been a really nice weekend. Friday night, we had a nice meal at Tre Famiglia on Haddon Avenue with Melissa and Bill. We sat outside and it was extremely pleasant. We went through an alarming amount of wine - and the only reason I say alarming is because we went out on Thursday night with Craig, Maria and Sarah and drank a lot of wine with our meal. A lot of wine. So two nights in a row was rough. We've cut way back on our imbibing so now when I hit the sauce on a weeknight, I really feel it.

Last night was quiet, just the two of us at home, watching Ang Lee's The Wedding Banquet, a lovely film.

Tonight we're going to Lisa and Mike's for a Thai inspired barbecue. I'm making Thai beef salad, Lisa is making chicken satay and Melissa is making some sort of sesame shrimp. Mmmm...

Henry really on the mend by the way. Laura and Gerry, two really nice folks from town, stopped by to lend us a small set of portable steps to make it easier for Henry to get on the bed, which to me was a really sweet and kind gesture.

Right. Off to the yard with today's New York Times. Sun, blue sky and the best newspaper in the world. I love life!!!
