A farewell dinner with Frank Colcord and his family and friends. Frank is the most reliable person to drop in on in London, he and David Kaplowitz, even if it weren't for the air fares they would make it the ideal gateway and egress from that hemisphere. It was nice to be eating real people's food again. Getting back to my own damaged kitchen — well it will be a long time before I get to eat my real food and by the way it's bad luck to put talk about your house at the end of a travelogue, look at the last photo in the Turkey trip in 1999. Stupid dot com bubble.
