Dinner at Guillemette's

Last night, Guillemette had a number of journalists over for dinner. I can't remember what she made, other than the main course was fish. She baked vegetables and a special black cous cous as a side dish, but I forget where the cous cous was from. There were four bottles of wine on the table and I sampled three of them. By 11.30, I was tipsy. I made my excuses and said my goodnights and walked slowly home.

During dinner, the conversation hovered around politics and the Democratic National Convention. Almost everyone at the table are heading to Boston to cover the event. Guillemette coordinated with Catherine. Everyone else compared hotels. Eventually, it came to light that Catherine had spent time following Kerry on his campaign. "But it was a long time ago," she said. Early in the primaries. Guillemette upped the ante on her bet with Tomas that Bush would drop Cheney. Tomas named the brand he liked. We all feared for the outcome of the elections. Posted by eku at July 22, 2004 10:47 PM
