Had High Tea with Sandra and Kevin and the kids at the Mariott today. It was pretty darn posh. I always thought high tea consisted of sipping Earl Gray and nibbling on crustless finger sandwiches; they had a huge spread that included a sushi bar, peking duck and a giant dessert bar.

Weather is still the pits, the rain is pounding against our window tonight. But since SOP on this trip is leaving a place the day the weather is the best, it should turn out to be a spectacularly nice day tomorrow.

It's Sherry's birthday today. Join me in wishing her many, many more.
