i think we did pretty good – living in another country….visiting other countries….and having a great time.
as i headed out of the Tube – on the escalator…I stared at the ads….one showed a young girl trying to look glam for the camera – it was some luxury watch ad. The caption said it was “Sasha Cohen – Champion Figure Skater.” Good grief…she’s only 20 year’s old….she wouldn’t have remembered seeing Katerina Witt winning her first Olympic Gold Medal in Sarajevo. She’s a young thing….and her face is now plastered at a London Tube stop.
Took Mark’s mom out for her b-day tonight. Had a big Tex-Mex meal at the Texas Embassy….yeah – back when Texas was a country….
On our way to the Texas Embassy – I heard a sax player doing “Moon River” – I thought about Audrey Hepburn, swinging her leg and strumming that tune out on her apartment window in the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
I thought…..it must be a sign that it’s time to go home…I loved hearing that tune. – it sounded sweeter – a few thousand miles away from home…..
I told Mark that it sounded like it was time to go home – and then I proceeded to cross the street.
Then Mark yanked me back on the curb and a double-decker wizzed through where my body could have been in the middle of the street….
He muttered – not that way.
I felt like a dork – of course I meant go home to the States….not doing something stupid.
Lady, I know what you mean about sounding better a few thousands miles away. I’m so ready to cross the Atlantic. With a pit stop in Paris. 😉
