Alleluia! He is Risen!
Well, Easter came and went without blog entries from your coorospondent, but one got so caught up in the weekend, that one just lost track of time.
Saturday, we sent the Greek off on the Empire Builder for her regular trip. She's rather concerned because the Congress, who is terribly concerned about "waste" at Amtrak (so they don't have to be worried about the 8 BILLION or so that is just plain missing in Iraq) is cutting dining car service to the bare bone. Not on the Empire Builder, because it is such a popular and well-patronized train, but things are being cut everywhere else, which means she could be bumped by a more senior waitress. Keep your fingers crossed for the poor dear, and be sure to vote for anything not Republican in November. (Actually, vote Democrat next November. Don't throw your vote away on the Greens or Socialists or Vegetarians or whatever. )
After disposing with the Greek, the Colonel and I were the guests of the lovely Miss Campbell in her Gracious Woodinville Home. It was a VERY festive evening, and even the Colonel unbent a little and had some Vodka. Miss Campbell is an excellent cook, and the party was tres delightful, so really nothing got done until Easter Sunday Morning.
Easter Sunday Morning (there it is again) was a blur of cleaning, cooking, high-fashion outfits, etc, and before you know it, The doorbell was heralding the arrival of Miss Sylvia and her lovely companion. They were followed in Quick succession by Rita, Miss Craig, Miss Ennis and - once again - the Lovely Miss Campbell.
The menu was simple: Leg of lamb, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Asparagus and a superior Desert, all washed down with some really top drawer wines and sparking conversation. All in all, it was another smashing success. But we had to be to bed early: The colonel had to chaperone some passengers to Vancouver, BC (via BUS, as they are doing trackwork up north) and I had to get my be-hind down to the courthouse for Jury Duty.
Tonight is more hecticness, as Miss Williams and Mrs. Falk are joining the Colonel and I for dinner tomorrow night at the fabulous Baja Cafe, where we will be celebrating yet another year on This Mortal Coil. They're meeting here first, so I thought a little California Dip and chips might be a nice nibbly. It just never ends, I tell ya.

Thanks so much for a very lovely dinner. I forgot what lovely eyes Mister Craig had. It was lovely to hang out with the "Butch Boys of Amtrack" again.
