Courtney declared the evening a success, so it was a success. Toward the end some actor I didn’t know showed up, but Court relegated him to the “B-list at best” and we didn’t intersect. When we got home, Chris informed us that Claire had gone to bed, so him and me and Court and Colin […]
We arrived in Boston in the morning before Courtney’s graduation.
