It's always nice to arrive at work Monday (or in this case Tuesday) morning and receive something other than urgent, faceless messages demanding my immediate attention. I received those as well this morning, of course, but being who I am decided to respond urgently to the frivolous ones and frivolously to the urgent ones. Your Sunday sounds incredibly more productive than mine - pity. After a quick survey of the very little mess left after you two left (THANK YOU!), Molly and I decided to bag any further cleaning and instead go for a drive through some of the nicer Portland neighborhoods, admiring gardens here and paint colors there. Everyone was out enjoying the crisp sunshine and inhaling our exhaust fumes. But watching from our comfortable car seats was about all we could muster after the weekend's debaucheries. Then we returned home for a movie marathon that did not, you correctly assumed, include the Philadelphia story. We did watch two fabulous films - "The Virgin Suicides" and "Croupier," both of which I highly recommend. We built a gigantic bed out of couch cushions and drank chamomile tea until we passed out. Amber the mysteriously absent roommate turned up Monday afternoon, and I was amazingly more angry than I had previously thought, mostly because she walked into the house smacking of defensiveness, ready to fight. So rather than disappoint her expectations, I gave her what she wanted, only with more volume. If the neighbors didn't hear us Saturday night, they can be sure somebody lives there now. I've got a call in to my friend Scott to locate Mr. Down Under Wine guy. In my slightly more sober state, I'm starting to feel like he may own a winery in Australia, not New Zealand. We'll find out for sure later today. And I'll let you know when I hear from him. Thanks again for making the trip DOWN to Portland - you guys were great company. I'd love to come to Seattle this weekend; however, I never make plans more than one day in advance. I've found myself to be much too flaky for that. Let me know if you need notice sooner than that. Take care, Kate "jordan mackay" on 02/19/2001 11:39:16 AM To: kate.symes@enron.com cc: Subject: I know you won't get this until Tuesday, I just thought I'd write for the purposes of consolidation. It was great meeting you and thanks for your hospitality and easy-going ways. I wonder if you watched the Philadelphia story. Probably not, but it's not going anywhere. It's a bright sunny day here in Seattle and, over a couple?of cups of coffee, I wrote all morning. At some point I'm going to go outside and do something today. A walk around the lake perhaps or a hike through the woods. ? Anyway, I don't have a lot to say. Thanks in advance for your help in getting me in touch with the New Zealand dude and do think seriously about coming down for dinner next weekend.
