I’m off to NYC for a cousin’s reunion. I’ll be seeing relatives I haven’t seen in over 30 years in some cases, which means the last time we met, they were just starting to date. (No, not each other.) We’re meeting at a restaurant for a few hours this afternoon.

I’m hopeful that my weeks ot practicing dropping the phrase “As I was saying to Their Majesties -Surely you know the Duke and Duchess? …” will pay off. Also, I am now able to hold my gut in for 1.5 hours at a time, which means I just have to schedule one bathroom break when I can unzip my pants and exhale. Also, I’ve been getting quite disdainful looks from various waiters around town, so my supercilious eyebrow arching seems to be having an effect. Unfortunately, my toupee is late arriving from Amazon, so it looks like I’ll have to keep my top hat on the entire time.

Wish me luck!
