fall outing.....

ok, so today the health department is closed, and we are meeting at 11:15 at the red mile for a buffet lunch and to watch the races......my plan is to stay til a respectable 2:00, when my eldest has agreed to call me up for the most noble and inarguable requests...to help him to spruce up his apartment.....he is quite serious, btw....and i am delighted.....he is taking this so seriously that is has taken snapshots, and measurements, and has an idea about the color scheme he prefers......i may go so far as to pay to recover the rosey-pink recliner he got from my mother......in my wildest imagination i don't see pink being part of something andrew would want to live with for the next 2 years.....and so i am lounging about in my jammies, dining on latke's made partly with sweet potato, and listening to salon.com downloads...a newish tom waits and somebody called the oxygen ponies.....i kind of like this guy (group?) it is always hard to tell in this day of studio miracle music treatments....i do plan to drive up to lex early enough to check out a few goodwills on the way...but my clothing of choice is still in the dryer.....ah...the life of the leisurely...i could get used to this.....we were up several times last night...once when i was too cold to have the window open....and again when the dog fell down the steps......this poor pup has no learning curve.....he has climbed up in the dark only to fall back down several times, and cannot seem to remember from mishap to mishap......if i had not already paid for my part of this buffet thing i would go back to bed and blow off the races art of the day....but i am looking forward to meeting andrew and shopping for fabric and acoutrement.........
