Yesterday I posted a poem by Dorothy Parker and it brought back memories from back in 2003. I was visiting New York City with a group of friends and we all wanted to have a drink at the Algonquin Hotel where Dorothy Parker and other members of the "round table" met for drinks, gossip and literary discussions. My little group of friends were all people I worked with and one of them snapped this photo of me finishing off my martini. The photo quickly became something of a joke among us. So here I am looking a bit like a lush with two empty glasses in front of me and one in my hand. I might have fit in perfectly with that little "round table" group from the 1920's.
By the way, those two empty glasses belonged to others. One martini is all I can handle. For more about Dorothy Parker and the Algonquin Hotel, check this link.
