Had breakfast with Keith and Mary--happily, Willow, her kitty, is recovering well. While we were sitting there, van driver Rick asked if it was okay to leave for Dargan's at 10:45 instead of later. Oops, I had forgotten I had already requested the van, but recovered quickly and said sure. That's two hours earlier than when I'm meeting Suzy but no prob, I figured I'll just visit some of the shops. Here was the big problem: I called the Access Van to cancel and was on hold for fifty minutes total. It seems they put in a new system that doesn't work as well as the old one. I'll love to ask why the hell they did it, then--but I finally got through.
On the way, I decided to tell Rick to deviate to the museum and I'd walk Main Street to Dargan's from there. He was taken aback, because it was "such a long way." Good grief, I looked it up and it's .07 of a mile or a bit more than half a mile--hardly a long way. I walked at a leisurely pace, but was still early.
Suzy got there at 12:30 and we fell into each other's arms. We ordered lunch (both had a Reuban and an IPA) and talked and talked and talked. Her show, Women of the Night (I thought it was about prostitutes, but no, that's not the idea) opens February 13 and runs into March. Can't wait to see it, and I'm hoping Mindy might want to, but I don't think Suzy sings in it.
Anyway, we didn't leave for almost three hours (well, there was a lot to say), then Suzy drove me to the museum and insisted on waiting until Rick came. Back at The Orchard, I quickly put in a load of wash. When it was finished drying, I retreived it, dumped it on the bed, and went down to dinner, sitting with the usual four, then went upstairs to finish packing.
Today: San Jose.
