Earlier in the day, there was an intense rainstorm with flooding, and some of the streets in Manhattan were blocked off. Sylvia had called to tell us that the openings and dinner might be canceled. So, we didn't leave as early as we might have. That and the traffic are the reasons we didn't get to Sylvia's opening.

Yale made a reservation for Catherine (Murphy) and me at The Study, but we decided to go home instead of staying over. I collected all of the place cards with everyone's name on them and had them in order by table. I got up from my seat to speak to somebody about something, and the waiter came and took them away. So, I scrambled to find them and did retrieve them, but they were out of order. I brought them home and now can't find them. All the names that I don't know will be revealed when the place cards turn up. See the previous two entries and the following four entries.]]>
