Starting to meet people.  Joey has a play date with his new friend Bruce today and we all go to dinner at their place Friday.  I met Grace in the deli and need to call her - her daughter is a severe dyslexic who is about to graduate from College and would be happy to meet up.  We had Jane, who used to work for the FCO in NYC and lives behind us, around for drinks last Friday.  I am reluctant to too easily buy into the idea that Americans are more friendly and open than the British.  But they are!  Generally speaking.
