Thanksgiving day in brief:
- Walk Regent's Park in the morning, see block-head Chocolate lab and fall in love (until asking his name and learning it's Chocolate) Still though, love the dog.
- Meet my boss outside office for a hello
- Oxford street
- Regents street
- Kick-Ass haircut at superfantasticexpensive salon
- Piccadilly Circus
- Virgin Music store
- Cat wets her pants at VRS selections but freezes at purchase choice and we leave with nothing but a promise to return once her musical focus kicks back in
- Trafalgar Square
- Westminster Bridge
- London Eye
- County Hall Gallery (largest collection of Salvador Dali works in the world - 500, to be exact)
- Discover Picasso in there too
- Walk along whatever street atop crispy fallen leaves, she turns to me and says, I'm so glad you brought me here, thank you.
- My heart melts and I hook my arm through hers
- She walks with me that way for a while before realizing we're connected and she wriggles out of the attachment
- Darkness falls at 4:00
- Weave back through Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus
- Along Regent Street and across Oxford Street... Christmas lights galore. All reds and whites and blues and giant snowflakes of light above our heads, twinkling and glowing.
- It works, we're wrapped up in the awe and magic
- Could it be the spirit of Christmas swirling around us?
- Duck into a few stores and come out with Christmas presents - snow falls upon us - definite Christmas spirit wrapping around and through our smiles
-Dinner at Zizzi's on Wigmore Street
- Conversation goes all over the place
- It's risky on both sides, but it's also safe
- Overheard conversation next to our table: I want to go to Dubai because it's big and spread out and five-starish. I have one friend in particular who would cringe at that.
- Walk back to hotel, 12 hours or so after we left
- Listen to Pink Floyd... Shine on you crazy diamond
Happy Thanksgiving. Indeed, we've lived our blessings today.
