to old friends, to new friends. to celebrations, to self-reflections. to scallops and lobster on broccolini. to the chocolate pyramids. to secrets. to secrets revealed. to the nice couple at the bar. to the two hour twenty minute risotto. to cutting one's hair.

and to waking up three and a half hours later. with a smile.

a perrier jouet toast... to an utterly momentous week. repeat utterly.
