It is a whole THING, Wendy. One thing we like: ingredients!

We had to go to Manhattan Monday and got wine and french fries to go from a diner that I *used* to eat at all the time but probably hadn't been to in ten years.

Holy crap, they were good. So, so good. Ate french fries sitting by the East River and watching the boats go by. Not too shabby (considering that enforced travel was part of the deal).

Also: agreeing with chresti on the relative quality of this set!

@ultradamno: I understand that longing for things that make one’s life seem full, like going to the movies, meeting with friends, having people over. I miss those things too.

That “phantom pain” of feeling the absence of familiar experiences so acutely just reminds us of how important those experiences are. And maybe we’ll value them more than ever when they become available again. Which they will. I miss the theater too.

We have a bottle of that Pogues whiskey - our friend manages their web site. It's decent.

I also didn't know Mick Fleetwood had filled out. He lives on Maui and has a restaurant. We visit there often and I always have an eye out for a very tall lanky guy but I guess I need to adjust my image.
