I called Lilly to try to follow up on our conversation but she had not too many leads for me. I’m sure she has friends that need to practice speaking English but I’m OLD and no one really wants to hang out with their grandma. Fortunately Lilly’s mother, Liz, got on the phone. We mainly talked about our shared experiences at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and her studies there. We laughed a little as we compared notes about the Graduate Dean and her peculiarities. She was Dean when I went there in 1987. Things haven’t changed much since I was there. It was a friendly conversation. She invited me to dinner that night with her husband, Ruben and Lilly. We ate at Arcos, a Mexican restaurant that I had never heard of. The restaurant was beautiful and the food was great. I ordered a tortilla soup. Fabulous! And to top it all off, a live Mariachi band!!! OMG!! I haven’t done this since I left LA! I love a good mariachi band!!! Baltimore is becoming more interesting by the minute. Liz gave me a few leads for CP between all the singing, laughing, eating, and eating.

ummm...I would LOVE hanging out with my grandma (if I had one)!! no, but the point I'm trying to make is, you're cool Pat--you're nobody's grandma!
ReplyDeleteand also, Mariachi bands hold a special place in my heart as well--my dad LOVES Mexican, and well, one of his favorite restaurants was a place called "EL MARIACHI"--they had a Mariachi band that traveled around the restaurant singing, and of course, my dad was always eager to invite them over to our table :)
