04052015-3 - 1Gallery open.

Went to Swoon for Scotch after the gallery closed. We think we will reinstitute this tradition.

David Drake showed up. First time he had been in since he left a year ago. People still bring up Enid. Seems inappropriate at this point.

Lisa Kenneally still works there. No sign of Mark. But Lisa’s parents came in for a birthday dinner. Her father was a scuba diver doing underwater construction. Lisa thinks that he and I look a lot alike. Nice guy.
