Day 121, "Every picture has a story"
Terry and I were invited out for dinner at the Seats just around the corner. Betty is his wife and she is a pack of dynamite at the age of maybe 85. AND yes his name is Carmen! How about that. Mom would be happy to know there are other male Carmens in the world. Terry and I get together with them two or three times a season. It is always a fun time with good conversation and a lot of laughs. Yesterday I had a unique experience. They bought my book a few years ago. Carmen (not me) went on this long dialog about two of the chapters. He said he has not read the entire book but from time to time he will sit down and read a chapter. Carmen was a life long media guy so he knows a bit about writing etc. Anyway he talked about 5 minutes or so about one of the chapters. He talked mostly about the one "Please Come Home". He actually teared up as he talked and he almost had me there too. It was a special moment for me as I have not had that kind of input about the book. "For sure" I have had many people tell me they enjoyed it but to have someone who knows a bit about writing say there is a chapter that certainly could be expanded on, that was very very nice to hear. All in all it was a fun time.
Terry and I will take in the book lecture on "An American Marriage" this morning. Another step in the culture ladder that I am trying to get off the first step of! I may have my left foot on the first rung of the ladder and my right foot half way between the first and second as we take in a play tomorrow!!
I will take the weekend off from tennis. As I shuffled to the front door this morning I thought that will be good to rest for a couple of days.
No, the FP is now just a memory and I need to get ready for the culture experience of the day.
