Well, we had a great time. I made roast chicken, roasted red potatoes with rosemary, a pear and gorgonzola salad and chocolate silk pie. Drew built a fire and we had music on the CD player the whole time. Rachel was her usual incredibly charming self; she focused on eating her dinner, didn't interrupt unless it was to get Drew a glass of water, and after dessert she cleared her plate without even being asked! She gave both men big hugs before she went to bed. "Rachel is AWESOME!" Sam said. "She has such poise." They promised to invite us to dinner at their place...and include Rachel, of course.
We all had a great time discussing politics, the state of newspapers, what I'm trying to do with the magazine, what Sam is trying to do in his new job, the new book Peter's working on, etc. They both had second helpings of chicken and pie, and stayed until after 10. Drew is cleaning up and I'm heading to bed. He and Rachel have off tomorrow (Presidents Day), and they already have a playdate set up for 9:30 in the morning. I, of course, am headed to work. One of these days, I mean it, I'll take a day off....
