Well, we were away for a couple days, and had a whirlwind visit to DC. First, let me apologize for the last post, which was sitting on my computer, unpublished. When we went to visit the Clutes, Mary asked a question, and I said I had mentioned something in the last blog, and she said, no, there was no posting on Thursday night, so when we got back to our little house, I found that I had written it, but not published it, so I did. So, Saturday’s post was actually for Thursday.
We took the train down to DC on Friday and Dave Sislen picked us up at Union Station and when we got to Bethesda, David and I were both ready for a nap, and settled into Dave and Pamela’s lovely guest house. We brought with us thunderstorms and tornado warnings, so we stayed in for dinner with Dave and Pamela, and watched the breaking news from Boston. Just as it was getting a bit like watching a white SUV drive through Los Angeles, but the saga came to a satisfying conclusion before we went back to our little house and went to bed. Nice work!
David and Pamela left for Chicago early on Saturday, so we were on our own. A little before 7am, David complained of a headache, and I had forgotten Tylenol, so I got dressed and walked over to CVS. Fortunately, we were very close to downtown Bethesda, so it was a short walk, but unfortunately, CVS didn’t open until 8am, so I picked up coffee from Starbucks and went back for a while. Then, back to CVS at 8am. Got the Tylenol and all was right with the world. Well, sort of.
You know when you travel, there is always that nagging thought that you forgot something. Well, yes, I forgot the Tylenol, that was something, but more important, I forgot pajamas for me, which was not disastrous, but the real tragedy was that I forgot pants for me. Later in the morning I went to see if I could find something, but didn’t, so made due with a pair of David’s that fit. It also helped that Casita Sislen had laundry, so cleaned the jeans that I came in.
Our first visit was with the Clutes, where we had a lovely lunch with Peter, Mary and Andrew. Nice to see them, and spend some quiet time with them. Talked about our plans for the next year or so, which I will share here soon. Maybe in tomorrow’s blog. We talked a lot over the weekend about what the plans are for us. Loads of travel, and later in this posting, will talk about a few other travel opportunities for the next year or so.

After the Clutes, they gave us a ride to Kathleen’s for a tour of her delightful garden. So nice to feel the lush grass under our feet. The day was beautiful, but David was needing to get back to the casita and take a nap. For anyone who knows David well, he began saying two words – why and bad. Why were we going to the auction tonight, and I was bad to be making him go (or alternately, it was a bad idea to be going). I also know David well enough that once there, he will be fine, aside from asking if it was time to leave, beginning when we came though the door and repeated every fifteen minutes.
After a nice nap, we got up and dressed, and Liza picked us up at 7pm, and we headed over to Burke. It was nice to see Liza, and she was a great friend to go with us. We got into the school with little problem, but moving through the event was slow. Between the crowds and everyone wanting to talk to David, it was a mob love-fest. After running the gauntlet, we made it down to the gym where dinner was going to be, and got settled. Then it was easier, because we stayed put, and folks came to see us and chat. It was a great evening, and, at the risk of contradicting David, it was not bad.
Dinner was good, and afterward, there was a presentation that I was asked to participate in. I read my lines off my phone. There was only one major hiccup when my thumb scrolled through the script and it took a moment to find my place again. It was nice to have a moment to thank everyone for all their notes, visits and good wishes, which really do keep me and David going. Anyway, once I was sitting, the bidding for the live auction began, and while David can’t speak, he can raise his paddle and bid on items. The two things he was eyeing were a week in Marbella in Costa del Sol and a European cruise on Azamara (a line we have not been on), both of which he bid on and won. He also made a generous bid for the Support a Scholar. Anyway, at the end of the evening, we dashed to get home and sleep. Thanks to Liza for helping out and joining us for the auction.
On Sunday, we got packed up and ready for the train back to NY, but went to Chrissie’s for brunch with the entire clan (minus Claire). It was great to see everyone, and they were all very impressed with David’s mobility – walking, climbing stairs and general desire to get up and walk around. So, after some great food and a terrific visit, we headed back to Union Station to catch the train back. We had a slight delay on the train, but got in to Penn Station not too much later than expected. I dropped David off at home with Onelsis, and ran to our first production meeting for the Complete One Act Festival, which is May 15 – 19, and I will send out more information when tickets go on sale. Less than a month away!
Anyway, sorry I skipped so many days, but hopefully folks reading this will understand. I have to say, I am having trouble staying in touch with everyone, and sometimes don’t respond to emails and calls as quickly or consistently as I might like. Thanks for understanding and seeing life from my complicated vantage point!
