A blogging deja vu. I should be at the Coliseum right now. But due to... etc. And it's entirely my fault! Because I went to lunch at The Cinnamon Club. Where the prix fixe lunch is utterly sensational. And the Cinnamon Bellinis! To die for:-) Throw in a good gossip and... I can't complain. I was warned. "No spice for a month," the doctor said yesterday, "It causes flare ups." So muggins here visits London's finest Indian restaurant... The kids are currently at Marriage of Figaro with my ma:-( And yet, a glorious day... This morning I went to Central Office. Whatever I was expecting, I didn't find it. At one point over coffees, a person of exceptional size mooched by. I got the giggles. My hostess was a woman whose research methodology is taking feminist thinking into whole new policy areas. She looked nonplussed. "I'm sorry," I said. "It's just that all human kind is in evidence here." It was like the Wookie Bar in Star Wars. Afterwards, I chatted on the doorstep with a young Asian I'd passed earlier. "We're really going to change things," he said. At that moment, my lunch guest tripped by. "I thought I was late!" We had a jolly couple of hours before she dashed to a meeting. And I got talking with two adjacent Americans. They were discussing the Taj Mahal. "We're put off visiting because it's a tourist trap." I let this go. They were nowhere near it, anyway. And were Hillary supporters. "I hope she gets in," I said. "She did a sterling job last time."

No, I've always been on the Clintons' side;-)
