livingdebWe went to a lovely birthday party this morning at La Madeleine. I got to see a gift bag with fur trim on it.
I got to hear about a party from a guy who's going to Mali for four months. They're throwing a here-today-gone-to-Mali party. I asked if there would be tamales.
I got to learn a little about trying out for a roller derby team. It turns out that just knowing how to skate really fast is not enough to get you past the first cut.
I learned that you can order French toast at La Madeleine even though it's apparently not on the menu anymore.
Then we cleaned. Then played. Then ate. Then cleaned.
And now we're watching "The Rockford Files." It's fun to watch a show from the 'seventies where most of the phones are still rotary, etc.
It's also fun to watch with a guy who is an expert on cars. He can tell, for example, when it's a different set of bad guys, because they're driving a different kind of car. He can tell that they must have lost part of the film and spliced in a short scene with a version of the car Rockford was driving that hadn't been made yet.

Why did you clean? I mean, not that cleaning isn't generally a good thing, but was there any specific reason?
Did you rent or buy "The Rockford Files"?
