I began this day by meeting with the new photographer for communications and then caught the train to New York where Sarah showed off her new hair and Ed Suzanne and I had our drinks and then bread before I got this collection sign and we had our salads and Ed's lamb and Sarah's tortellini which caused Sarah and Suzanne to smile before Suzanne's salmon and my risotto kept us going through my self portrait and my aborted attempt to get a portrait of myself with my food so that we walked down the street with the crowd in the birthday hats and got to the theater to see Avenue Q where after the show there were photo ops for Ed Sarah Ed again me and Suzanne after which we headed to Penn Station and Sarah and Ed posed

and then Ed posed as did Suzanne until I joined Suzanne and after a few more pictures of Sarah the train came and Suzanne and Sarah sat on one side while Ed and I sat on the other as we endured the world's longest train ride with these tickets
