On the way home when I stoppoed to pick up dinner I noticed one of the tires was practically flat. Early in the morning Andrew (see next entry) from Enterprse came to pick me up and bring meback to their office to give me a different car. This all was done fast enough for us to get going back to the city by 8:20 AM.
We arrived at the Peter Freeman gallery only about 15 minutes late for Catherine'd appointment (see next entry). When dropping Catherine off, I got a ticked, which was part of two days of money going out and coming in. The Meter Person was very sorry when I told her that I was dropping off someone with a cane but had started to write the ticket so nothing could be done.
The money coming in and out was a bit of a Saga. When we decided we had to leave I called the Hilton Double Tree Hotel and explained the dilema. Even though we were past the date for a refund they did refund ther room fee, which was soo nice of them and also it ws vey expensive. Money in. The ticket. money out. I got a parking space near the gallery, money in. After Catherin'e interview we went to the doctors, eating lunch (from Soho Thai) in the car on the way. We are still in the doctors office and probably won't get out before 5:00 PM and plan to get dinner from Excellent Dumpling on 23rd Street and eat in the car on the way home. We had never had food from there before.]]>
