The Peacock 1440

Carol and Sarah have just arrived, and I have to stifle myself from yielding to temptation and telling Carol that we have saved plenty of food for her. Everyone is seated in spontaneous little groups and circles. i am sharing the couch with Amanda and Sarah. George and jeffrey are engaged in a deep conversation with Norma and Cynthia, Carl and Francisco are getting caught up with Melissa, Lazarus and Jason, and Carol has just joined them with her second full plate of food. I am amazed that that woman is not morbidly obese, now rubenesqe, as they say, and perhaps could shed around forty pounds, but seriously, where does she put all that food.
