Again I spent some time with my mother helping her with errands around town. My brother Eden came over and we hung some new frames on the wall. Met my friends John and Chris for food and drinks in the evening. We started with cocktails at Across the Pond, then had dinner at The Clever Koi, which is adjacent to Pond. I had never been to either place before, but really enjoyed the food – had a spicy Szechuan catfish that was very good. After dinner we walked over to Lux for some more cocktails in their Salon. Jeff and Kate joined us, and it was nice to have everybody together. Chris and I went for a nightcap at the George and Dragon.
