Very quickly--it's 3 a.m. and I, along with Sophia, Barbara, Patty, and James, are still at Mike's place. Another one of Christine's Great Ideas, we all descended upon Mike's place to give him some badly needed decorating advice. After much moving of books, knicknacks, and furniture, his apartment is much improved. All he needs now are some nice gauzy curtains, fresh paint on the walls (Mike, that bluish hospital white color has got to go), warm lighting, and rug to pull all the elements together. We were well compensated by Mike's generous hospitality...I admit, I came for the free dinner! And of course, to exercise my Martha Stewart-like qualities and because helping a friend in need is always, as Martha would say, a good thing.
