Good
morning,
How
are you? I got wet on the way in. I didn't check the weather I guess. I should have because with the AC problems at
work I am in the weather business. I am
glad it is Friday. I don't have to work
a full day. No real plans for the
weekend. Might see Terra Cotta
Warriors. There are only 9 there. For some reason that seems weak. Maybe I will think differently when I see
them. You?
XOXOXOX
SNB

Good
morning, my love:
Yes,
it's a gloomy looking day. We did get caught in that down pour on the way to
VT. It was kind of frightening because of all the lightening. I hadn't seen
lightening like that since I was on a boat coming back from Fire Island years
ago, but that was very distant. Nadi was very worried until I told her we were
safe in the car. I have no idea if it's true, I hope it was. Do you have a
change of clothing at work? I was glad you enjoyed your karate class yesterday.
It always pleases me that you like exercise. And I'm not just being selfish : )
The
trip ended up better than it started. I was annoyed by the hotel to begin with
because in New England they always charge you an arm and a leg like in Europe,
but it's no Europe that's for sure. For the price per room at this hotel which
actually wasn't New England, it was upstate NY, Lake George, we could've had a
really nice room at the Carlyle or something in the city even. And it was about
40 minutes or so away from where Isabela was, so that meant we had to get up
even earlier to get her at 10:00, because she was adamant we come earlier
rather than later. Then Nadi was annoying in all kinds of ways, and eventually
we had the fight. But the next morning, she wrote me this cute apology poem and
gave me a big hug, so all was resolved. We got Isabela and it was a beautiful
day, so we got a picnic lunch and rented a motor boat. The lake water was
surprisingly warm, so we ate lunch on the boat then went swimming. Everyone had
their bathing suits except for me, so I went skinny dipping, much to Nadi’s
anxiety, because unlike Isabela, she was born a prude. I really don't know
where she gets it from, but it's true what they say, they actually have their
own personalities despite their upbringing.
Today
is going to be busy cleaning their clothes, getting them last minute stuff then
taking them to camp tomorrow. Nothing else for the week-end. Maybe a movie or
something.
What
is Terra Cotta Warriors? Is that an exhibit?
I
hope you've dried by now : )
XOXOXOX
HFG

Hello
HFG,
Welcome
back. Glad you made it safely. And I am not just being selfish. Skinny dipping? nice.
That is hot. I don't like skinny
dipping because I don't like water. We
could try it in a tub sometime.
Terra
Cotta Warriors is an exhibit at the Discovery Center in Times Square. Some ancient Chinese King was buried with
8,000 life sized statutes. They were
found under a field somewhere. 9 of them
are here.
I
dried. I do have a clean t-shirt here so
I would have been ok. Plus it is cold in
here.
Have
a great day. I love you.
Me

Hi
SNB:
I'm
so happy I'll see you this coming week. I miss you. You don't like water?
You're like your cats then : ) I love water. When I was a kid my brother-in-law
would take his younger brother and me to the Caspian Sea (it's the world’s
biggest lake and it was clean back then) on his family's boat and teach us how
to water ski. I was getting it too, but then the revolution happened. One can
learn so much easier when one is a kid. I tried again in Jamaica as an adult,
but all I got for it was a scar on my ankle. So, I like to swim in lakes, pools
too, but they have to be warm.
The
exhibit sounds interesting. They made a whole lot of statues. It must've taken
them a long while.
Your
building is so insane, it's either hot or cold; when is it just right then? : )
It's
been a LONG day. Not only does my husband get on my nerves to no end, but it's
been crazy running around getting the girls ready for camp. I have found this
really good sunblock but they only sell it at specialty stores, like an
Apothecary on West 4th Street, so, had to go all the way down there to get it.
Then to Target for extra towels, blanket, fan. One girl had them, the other
needed some stuff. Finally home!
So,
should we talk about this Thursday and Friday? I have a dentist appointment
near Wall Street for checkup and cleaning. They hate me there because I don't
have a single cavity. It's genetic. My great grandmother, grandmother and aunt
had/have the same teeth. If I were a horse, I would bring in a very good price
: ) My appointment is at 2:15. It will probably take an hour or so then I'll
make my way uptown. So, I can meet you where ever and whenever you like. I
should leave probably between 8-9. Do you have the entire Friday off? I can
meet you around 1 if you're free. I'm thinking maybe on Thursday, we can check
out the hotels in person, say we're checking them out for our relatives coming
from out of town like from NJ to spend the day and need a place for their
packages and to rest. We can check out the lobby and a room to see what we think.
I'll wear my wedding hardware so it looks like we're married. We have three
choices, Manhattan, Harold Square, Sanctuary, and I've found a couple more I'll
look into on the net later tonight. If we book something and pre-pay for the
next day, they may go for a day rate or early check-in. The Harold Square told
me they don't take reservations, one has to call a half an hour before one
wants to arrive, but I'm sure they'll take cash and book one a room for the
next day if we go in person. Logistics, logistics!
I
got you a book that has most of Khayyam's quatrains translated by Fitzgerald, a
life of Fitzgerald and an essay by Emerson on Persian poetry. I like Emerson.
He said some cool stuff in general. I don't know if you'd like it, so let me
know if it interests you.
I
love you,
Me.

I
am looking forward to seeing you too. It
has been too long. You are a beautiful
woman.
I
don't like water. I am not a fan of sun
either. It isn't a question of sunblock
although I never tried one from the Apothecary on West 4th. So
Thursday is your dentist appointment? I will find a place for us to meet. Maybe near your dentist? On Friday I probably
can't meet until 3.
XOXOXO
Me.

Are you trying to imply that I'm hoity toity, or is it just coming
across that way on the page? : )
So Thursday is your dentist appointment?
Didn't I just write that?
I will find a place for us to meet. Maybe near your dentist?
That depends on when you can meet me and my very clean minty
mouth. My appointment is at 2:15 so I'll
be done about 3:30 the latest. If you can meet me then great, but I thought you
won't get out of work until at least 4 or 5. We have to come uptown anyway, so
if you're still at work, I can start walking up to say Flatiron or Chelsea?
On Friday I probably can't meet until 3.
OK, let's not
enter hotels together, although we don't know anyone in those parts of town,
except your Times Square off ice is near there. If you can't meet until 3, then
we can just go to the Waldorf or Hilton, since their check in is at 3. I have
massage at 7, so we'll have a few hours, or we can just postpone until the
31st. Is that also the case on that Tues, 31, you can meet at 3 or so, or can you
take the whole afternoon off? Are you able to take some afternoon during the
week off and work on Saturday instead? I'm not quite sure how your schedule
works.
