Snuck off with Elaine, my friend [and babysitter to Fig, formerly, and Punch, still now] for a delicious dinner at a sidewalk table at this darling little cafe. So nice to catch up.
I also biked in and out of town, since I had to get to bank and P.O., and we let Fig take our car to the Catskills this morning to visit her friend. Daughter and car due back late tomorrow morning.
Good night.
