Yesterday Libby and I hosted an Easter Egg Party at her school. We dyed eggs, and had an egg hunt (Libby got to hide the eggs! She loved it!) and of course, read my friend Mary's book, The Strange Egg. It was a perfect read aloud book for them.
Last night Pierre and I met my cuz Lou at The Fireplace for dinner, which was fabulous, and we had the added pleasure of hearing friend and s.w.p. Dorothy sing with a jazz band. The music was great, and Dorothy's gorgeous singing was the highlight!
Which reminds me that I spent the evening with two people who must be entered into the Liver Lover Rollcall of Honor. Lou, my beautiful and talented cousin: I admire you so much for the way you have endured sorrows uncrushed, with your style, your wit, and your love of life none the worse for wear. Those kids in your music classes are SO lucky to have you! Me too, to have your support in my Big Race. Mile 10 is dedicated to you, and my other cool Crimmins cousins!
Dorothy, thank you for keeping me posted on your musical outings, and for collaborating with me in an emergency situation! I'm dedicating Mile 11 to you, and to your sister, Regina, my partner in crime at Emerson! Regina, you have supported me in so many difficult situations--thanks for that, and thanks to both of you for your sponsorship.
Last night at dinner Lou asked me why hepatitis B is so prevalent in the Asian and Asian American populations. This is an important question, requiring a complex answer--one that I don't think I articulated very well after a few glasses of Westport Vineyard Chardonnay. For a better answer, please go to www.hepb.org, and go to "Hepatitis B and the Asian Community".
Good night!
