She slammed a door in my face!
Mary, my best friend.
I just couldn’t believe it – I froze. I don’t know if the source of our toddlers’ fight was my son or her daughter. Whatever. That was bullshit.
For the record, no friend has ever slammed a door in my face.

God, I so miss going out to lunch…
My face turned hot. My lips pursed. My stomach lurched. I quickly grabbed my fork and knife and concentrated on cutting my pizza into toddler squares. Still listening to Betsy.

I’m sure it’s sweat. It’s after dark and still in the 90s.

Okay, can’t walk-run to my car. My purse is in the office. Breathe. My next steps:
- Cross the Welcome station
- Walk ½ way up the Circle Drive
- Get past the Valet-guarded doors
- Dodge outcoming bathroom crowd
- Walk 20 feet into a No-Escaping-Notice office
I’m sure I’m fine.

Biggest. Party. Of. The. Year.
Two giant tents – filled with properly-placed napkins and gourmet picnic food on silver chafing dishes. A live pop cover band tests their equipment, which means you don’t have to bring your 9-iron today. Or plaid pants. Unless you really want to.
