The Absurdities of My Current Life

Yesterday I slept late and got up around 8 a.m. and went to bed around 11:30, meaning that I was awake for about 15 1/2 hours over the course of the day. It was, admittedly, a short day for me. Normally I try to be awake by around 6 or 6:30 so that I can get writing.
Anyway, yesterday I attended the monthly luncheon of hotel PR directors here in DC at the Four Seasons, where I enjoyed a delicious four-course lunch, complete with rose champagne, a wagyu rib-eye, celery soup, and a frisee salad. Since we lingered over the conversation for a while, the lunch took about three hours start-to-finish.
Last night, then, I went out to dinner with the publicist for the new restaurant Il Mulino New York that’s opening here later this month. It’s a very famous New York Italian haunt, where, supposedly, it’s nearly impossible to score a table. K and my old friend Justin came along to round out our table for four at the mock service dinner before it opens officially, and we arrived at about 6:30 p.m. The dinner was delicious, just course after course of very rich, very yummy Italian food
