The venue looks amazing, David.
I had such a pang when I walked in there during the Edwardian Ball, because Jacqueline and I had always wanted to go.
And then I realized I could rent it for her Memorial and she could be there.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Time to book flights/rooms/time off. Dang.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, that place looks wonderful! On my calendar
Oh, right, taxes, I do still need to do those.

Our wings are not tired.
It does look absolutely perfect, David.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Everybody pinky promise to do a colonoscopy this year if you are due! Promise!
Jim and I had ours in February: no issues.
David, that is an incredible space.

I'm looking at this place to cater the event: [link]
What's your favorite from the menu?
I'm realizing this is sort of like planning a wedding but in reverse. This is the end of our marriage. Twice wed but unmarried. A widower.
I'm planning on wearing my wedding ring for a year and then taking it off. Then I'll string it on a gold chain with her engagement and wedding ring. Maybe it'll go in a shadow box.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
What style with this event be? Sit at tables and dine? Or stand, circulate, converse, sip, and nibble?

Sit at tables for lunch then much mingling. It's a fairly big space, with lots of side areas.
I don’t know how you can NOT have spanakopita.
Yes, that's a given plus the dolmas.
