Still no word from the Tea lady. Maybe if she knew that I spent the day today in New York City, she'd be impressed. Lots of... uh... publishing happens there, right?

Just a quick story idea, because it's late and I'm exhausted. I was at a Williams Sonoma today, and a genial Austrian chef was showing us how to make some kind of tomato mousse. (Yeah, I didn't think it sounded good either.) He kept getting interrupted by late-fifties, blonde, Williams Sonoma employee lady, who seemed to think she had to show him how to use the blender.

Their relationship degraded rapidly, and was lots of fun to watch. A story idea? Possibly for the future. It reminded me of the mead making demonstration. It's an interesting character dynamic, but it's not a plot. It would need more development, but that shall not be done tonight.
