Late last summer Nick went to Indonesia to participate in the very special wedding of our friends Gustav and D. Nick and Gustav have been BFF since forever ago, so I didn't complain too loudly when he left me alone with Henry for TWO WHOLE WEEKS to gallivant with the monkeys in Bali. In retrospect I wonder if maybe I should have gone with, but Henry was only 10 months old and at the time I could not imagine being away from him for so long. (Still can't!)
I remember it was a hot, hot August in Brooklyn and I was on Grand Jury duty for that two weeks and Henry had his first stomach virus, which I then caught (somewhere there is a court record of me asking the District Attorney to excuse me from the jury box, because "I'm going to be sick"). A lovely two weeks it was.
Congrats D and Gustav

This past weekend there was a stateside celebration in Connecticut for all those who were not able to travel to the end of the earth for the nuptials. It was a lovely affair and I must point out that my favorite hors devours were the mini lobster rolls and the shot glasses of clam chowder. I considered slipping the caterer a twenty spot so I'd not be missed when the rolls were being passed, but if you position yourself just the right spot (outside the kitchen door), you won't miss a tray.
