Thanks

I am most thankful that Daryl still loves me after all these years, and that our Mia is healthy and happy. I’m also thankful for (in no particular order): NYT crossword puzzles; Austin; champagne; Mexican food; Mexicans; Mexico; veggie burgers and onion rings at Goldrush Cafe; zinnias; pad thai tofu no egg medium spicy; wavy glass windows; flannel sheets; the New Yorker; clusterflock; Bill Murray; Harper’s; The Daily Show; Vietnam (restaurant, corner of Bryan and Peak); Errol Morris; Cynthia Ashby jackets; Joseph Cornell’s boxes; Vancouver; eggplants; eBay; Arche and Cydwoq shoes; 1940s linens; celluloid birds; days with no plans or obligations.

I’m a lucky woman.

    You’re lucky–I’m a royal flush.

    Cindy
    As lucky as I consider myself to be, I’m a little envious of your list. I’d like to try pad thai tofu no egg medium spicy. And I’ll second days with no plans or obligations.

    Oh, Rick, you’d love it. It’s my favorite dish from a little Thai restaurant a couple of blocks from us, Bangkok Inn. Most Fridays, Daryl gets us takeout from there, and stops by the liquor store across the street for a bottle of inexpensive champagne, and we eat and drink in the living room while watching something from Netflix. What happy days. We’ve seen some great things at that Thai restaurant, including the aftermath of an ancient woman who, having visited the “beauty parlor” next door, put her huge car into drive rather than reverse and drove completely through to the kitchen. Last week, the proprietors asked Daryl how he spells his name (this after 15 years of taking his order over the phone). When he told them, a young woman jumped into the air and said, in her heavy Thai accent, “I won!”
