Short update:

Yesterday, Sunday, the tea party over at Elizabeth's turned into a food orgy that ended late into the evening. The food was scrumptious, the company was odd. There was this monkey-looking girl, sort of a woman-child, tiny, wearing a very short summer dress, like a short short slip, and no make-up. She was very prissy and it was instant dislike on my part - probably on hers too, but I didn't ask. She studied microbiology but works in some kind of corporate environment that she hates for "moral" reasons, something to do with being incensed at how much the big honchos make. She is looking for a job in a non-profit organization and of course she can get her news only from the BBC. Exactly the kind of person that can almost make me side with O'Reilly and Fox TV. Thank goodness the rest of the guests were friends. It was a very warm and humid night and instead of taking to bus back to Manhattan (we were in NJ) we took the ferry. Manhattan's skyline, the breeze, the water, the silence: absolutely lovely.

Just hanged up with JP. He called to tell me one of his closest friends has died. He had cancer and had a pretty bad downturn yesterday. Although the end was expected we never thought it was going to be this fast. The saddest thing is that he leaves behind two small children. JP is in Montevideo and was going to the hospital now. Too bad I can't be with him.
