Nurit and I had dinner with Cindy and Harvey Richmond on Sunday night. Cindy was a college friend of mine and we reconnected in April of this year. Harvey and I were in the same fraternity and competed to see who was the poorest member.  I promised in my blog posting in April that I would buy some of her art. She, Cindy Packard Richmond is a very talented artist and on this trip we were able to buy two of her paintings.

An oil of some garlic that I loved

And a pastel of a marsh that Nurit loved

We went to their beautiful suburban Washington DC house

and chose two painting we liked right off their walls. It felt like a very in-crowd thing and perhaps a bit illicit.

We then went to a very nice restaurant, name to follow when I remember it, nearby and Cindy bought dinner. The food was excellent and the company was even better.

Life is good.
