Yippee - it's Friday. The weather has broken and the entire town seems to have decamped to the beach for the month of August so it's quite nice here at the moment.

Lots on this weekend. Dinner at Stephen Starr's new place Parc tonight with Cat and Jeb, grilled pizza here tomorrow night with Craig, Maria and Andy and the beach on Sunday with Jo, Tom and John.

Digging this whole grilled pizza thing. Am using a recipe from Al Forno in Providence, where I had the best pizza outside of Naples. It's a really fun night out in the yard with friends, wine and beer.
