Bringing the Beaches of Amagansett to the Bathrooms of Mount Pleasant - The Shells Match Perfectly with the Landscape of Refurbished Rooms

I believe I'm ending my out-to-dinner posts, although I could most definitely do one from last night, as I had seafood from La Catrina Taqueria last night to celebrate Father and Son Day (officially June 2). Bev, Leo, and Pam joined us for the occasion. I went in early yesterday and had good tidings with the English Department, and then went to Canisius where the noise from construction and the complaints from the few faculty who were present basically made me want to swim across the Sound and return to Amagansett. I'm going to try my very best to keep the clown show out of my inner circle. Not my sea lions...not my circus.

Chitunga and I also hung his Christmas gift to me - outdoor lights - along the back patio and over the tables. I'm looking forward to putting them to use, as I love being outside in the evenings, especially at times when the mosquitos aren't in action (which is now and later, September). Great gift. I'm impressed by his bravery to climb heights and to balance...Mark was good for him.

I also brought back several sea shells from Mark's and my trip to the North Shore Bay. I knew they'd look good with the octopus painting above the toile (but would also look good with the shell paintings upstairs). I strategically located them after we hung the lights and had dinner with our friends (yes, I stayed with the seafood theme and had shrimp, mussels, and clams I think I may have a new addiction). 

We're up and at it early this morning, having filled the gas tank last night. He needs to be at Laguardia by 5:30 a.m., so we'll be hitting I-95 quite early. He says, "Oh, but I can sleep the whole way home." I'm like, "But I can't. I have to drive back to Connecticut."

Wish me luck, as everyone and all who know me realize how miserable I am in the morning. I'm afraid to do coffee, because the last thing I want to do is have to take a dump in NYC traffic. 

We got this. 

What a beautiful week it has been.
