Still here. This is my last day. I'm heading home tomorrow.
Last night I took an old girlfriend to my favorite St. Louis restaurant, Tony's. That's the nice thing about being a SRFİ, I can afford to dine at upscale restaurants. I even wore a suit!
So what did I have? I had the Tony's salad and the Trio of Veals, which consisted of three veal cutlets prepared different ways. Awesome! I think Patty had the Cappellini Primavera along with a Tony's salad. The Tony's salad is huge. The wine was a Chateauneuf du Papa, P. Jeune 2005. Delicious!
Today I caught up with my friend Alixe and spent some time with her. She's my oldest friend in St. Louis. She's an RN and a hairdresser. Today she was wearing her hairdresser hat and I went to see her. Both of her daughters came to have their hair done. Her oldest, Amber, was three years old when I met her. She's now 42. How the heck did that happen? Where did those years go? And I can remember when her other daughter Andrea was born. Amber was a sweet little girl. Andrea was a brat. I used to always say that Andrea was the poster child for Planned Parenthood. Like this.
Andrea is now in her 30's, is married, and has three kids. She's much nicer now. Hey. I was a real brat when I was growing up. If not for raising me, my mom would have prolly lived another ten years. She once told me that they would have sent me to military school if they could have afforded it. This was before Ritalin.
Tonight I'm having dinner with another of my old IBM buddies who worked with me when I was in the Mattel Office Products Division. In fact, he was one of my mentors when I graduated from OP school.
LOL, Denny! Our three oldest children used to like to tell the youngest one that we were going to send him off to military preschool. They almost had him convinced there were military boarding schools for kids that young.

Wishing you all the best!
Your good friend from Canada.
Claudia - Yes.
