Basia & John in Albuquerque

Journal:

Slept (1.30-8.30) in the kiva downstairs as I was going to be up later than Wren. Finished contacts, expenses, blogged, talked to V (tora tora tora). Lovely circular room, huge beams in the ceiling (and a huge flat screen TV). Chatted w W over a cuppa for about an hour, conscious this is our last morning 'at home' together. Beginnings of a migraine (W). W made us BLTs which we consumed on the terrace in the sun. Cleaned out car, went through papers, found more contacts. Made health appointments in London. Wrote L & S & S to let them know I'll be in London in Oct. Wrote R & C & M & A & M & G & A & S to make dates in SF. Wrote check for speeding ticket. Odalesque shots of W. Lunch of Thai soup & lasagna, then W tried to sleep off migraine till 4pm while I packed. Left for Albuquerque at 5pm via post office; last dose of 'La Lacuna'. At Basia Irland's off of Bryn Mawr Ave by 6.30, having stopped for gas and a bottle o wine. Welcomed by Basia & John. Pinot Grigio and spaghetti with pesto (and olives) in the garden. Animated conversation, wide ranging. Like a river (...speaking of rivers...). All tucked in by 10.30.

Fantastic people, Basia & John; alert, well-traveled, pragmatically academic.
