I'm here. The house is what I would have called big before I wound up at the mansion. It's nice, though. Old Tudor-style place right on the slope of Russian Hill. Great view.

Everything's fine. Saul had to head back to Samara for the afternoon - a conference call of some sort he couldn't afford to miss - and I'm on my own here save for the cook, an odd little woman who keeps looking at me sideways and speaks in monosyllables.

This really is a great view of the Bay. Moira, you'd love it. I'll call tonight, by the way, and Alison, I'll check back in tomorrow.

House sounds nice indeed. Yay for great views.

Does the cook keep nightshade in her kitchen? Herb garden stashed in a corner? Just curious.

Checking in is good. We have ice cream here. Tons of custom ice cream. No matter how quickly they're trying to go through it, there'll be some left for you. I'll stash some away if the kids suddenly mutate into bigger ice cream shoveling machines.

PS - I'm trying to be good about this. Because it is good and we should all be happy and I keep being twitchy and I don't like me for it. It just... makes me twitch. Just wanting what's best for you. Just that.

We just got back in. Went out to a rather nice Spanish restaurant for dinner. Want to know what we talked about over dinner? Movies. Of all the conversational topics. He thinks that thing Moira and I have for bad historical movies is entirely too amusing. I then proceeded to choke on my... I don't actually remember what I was eating, some form of tapas... when he told me he likes B movies.

I'm not sure about the cook. She really doesn't know what to make of me, I think, but she fusses shamelessly over Saul. I'll keep an eye out for alarming herbs.

Ice cream, huh? I'm sure there's a story behind that...

PS - I know. On both scores.
