Not too much to say today, except our winning RJRetreat team enjoyed a victors’ lunch at one of my fav lunch spots, XIX at the Bellvue.
Why is it a fav? Aside from the view, the weird echo-chamber created by their domed ceiling, and the consistently good (and appropriately-portioned) prix fixe entrees, there’s that dessert bar…
(This particular outing also involved a supermarket-sweep style last-minute run to Banana Republic for respectable-looking clothes, because I made this big deal to my team (who had never been to XIX for lunch before) to “dress well” and then I showed up to work in a t-shirt and baggy jeans and got super-self-conscious which resulted in a 10:40am wardrobe change and a new pair of gray stretch jeans, mmmmm.)
