"Humor is the great thing, the saving thing." -Mark Twain

Although I'm facing a few daunting life challenges, and I'd only slept a few hours (oh, but for very good reason!), I laughed all day today -- which might not have been the case without the considerable contributions made by Brian & Margaret. There was post-meditation breakfast levity at favorite Eagle Rock bistro Camilo's with B, cheer in an afternoon tete a tete with M, then gales of raucous laughter between B, M & Z at dinner in Silver Lake, followed by a trek to Mashti Malone's in Hollywood for the most luscious ice cream in LA (so it correctly says in the August Los Angeles Magazine -- an issue which also quotes Margaret with regard to her color therapy technique).

Never mind that we had to wait almost an hour for a table at Alegria, and longer than usual for the actual (ever-fabulous) burritos and chimichangas. Or that Hollywood Boulevard traffic was everything you might expect on a Saturday night. We let it go and embraced the moment, delighting in each other's company, and making a few memories to scribble in our diaries for future enjoyment.

One of those days, and two of those friendships, that nothing could spoil.
