Wow, sorry I was late getting back. After CPE I had a spur-of-the-moment GAL opportunity. Exhausting.
I'm getting really uptight about Thursday's outing. I'm almost at the point of packing some index cards with "conversation starters" on them.
The plan is as follows: Morning visit to the gallery, a couple hours wandering great works of art, with a particular emphasis on the schools and eras W likes. Then "Hungry?" and we go to lunch, but lunch is a gourmet picnic lunch by the water -- seared ahi, peppered beef tenderloin, cold vegetables, cheese, crunchy French bread, a couple half-bottles of Cabernet and Merlot. Chit-chat, enjoy the food, enjoy the view. Then back to reality -- school lets out and pick it up from there.
Needs -- I need a new sports jacket. The navy windowpane isn't cooperating with the silk trousers. I need new smell-sweet-sh*t. The French stuff -- bah, the French! -- matures on me, literally. I smell like an old man by the end of the day even to myself. It's not Old Spice, but you could be forgiven if it reminded you of it after 6-8 hours.
So I need some sartorial suggestions, some olfactory suggestions, some conversation suggestions, and MY GOD! some how-to-handle-this suggestions. I've already got the runs...
