Hours prior to NYC

It's too bright for me to be coherent. But Michelangelo has been calling me nonstop. It's no joke that he gets anxious before traveling. I was just printing our electronic tickets and hotel reservations, trying my best not to wake Caterina Maria. She has a very deep sleep, luckily for me. She's really adorable.

I'm checking... and everything seems in order. Now I will bathe to see if I can recuperate my motor skills and then continue unto my breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages,mushrooms, hash browns, and half of a tomato. Specific I know. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water, which can be a distracting thought since I'm fretting the fact that I'm leaving Caterina Maria.

Yes, I will stop talking like this soon. I promise. As soon as I wake up. Good Lord, I'm most definitely not a morning person.

E-Cards have special powers

Who would've thought that an e-card could do that? ;) She is certaintly the most original and entertaining person I know. And such a darling. I'll be on my way to plan an entire agenda just for us. Can't wait.

Michelangelo is coming with me to New York. That sounds pretty good, I am not usually fond of traveling alone. Though with Michelangelo that is usually the case, he's not exactly very awake during the flight. He's scared of planes and heights you see. So I can only talk to him while we're at the gate then he slips on a pill and slips into sleep. Quite amusing to watch actually.

I ate sushi today. I felt I needed to vary my menu at least for ONE day, after a while you get sick of cous-cous, kedgeree and salmon filet. And also, Eleanor dared me. She suddenly feels superior to me because she can enjoy raw foods. I tried, and for the 10th time I failed. I cannot find any kind of enjoyment in something uncooked. Though I must admit, like my good friend Thierry said, there is nothing par to the french cuisine.

Happy Earth Day to you all. Time to think green and plant some trees. Me? I'm in dire need of good weather. My flowers need some sun, desperately.

happy birthday jean-luc bellay.
