We both ordered the Island Salad, sumptuous with grilled chicken, mixed greens, strawberries, pineapple and vinaigrette. When the server came to clear our dishes, scraped to the porcelain with scarcely a leafy fragment in sight, he said that we seemed to have enjoyed the salad. I was moved to remark that it was the best I’d ever eaten. I realize now that it was my James Lacey memorial salad. Thank you James. I was going to try replicating it at home, but I won’t do that. I’ll revisit McCabe’s instead.Joe Jubinvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489419756833657839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736689.post-47095587086066297722010-06-06T17:10:09.758-04:002010-06-06T17:10:09.758-04:00Oh, Patrick, my heart fills when you write of your...Oh, Patrick, my heart fills when you write of your brother. Your love for James shapes every sentence with laughter and ache. Such sweet memories, and true: we miss ALL of a person, not just the "good" stuff but the puzzling and maddening as well. The loss is complete. My love to you and your family on this anniversary.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852713057094279347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736689.post-64578007464435405922010-06-06T11:42:58.948-04:002010-06-06T11:42:58.948-04:00I am, too.

I know a few people around here who would appreciate it. A James Lacey Memorial Pie.

That warms my heart more than you can know. And Emily, she just gets it, doesn't she. Thank you for that as well. <br /><br />AJB: Thanks for checking in with Mom, I'm sure she appreciated the conversation greatly. And how could I have forgotten about pie! I will amend the list shortly. <br /><br />Marta: Dear twin, yes, dogs and misfits, that about sums it up (and as AJB reminds me, also pie). Hm. Dogs, Misfits and Pie sounds like a good book title. Feel free to use it, if thee likes. :) Can't wait to talk. <br /><br /> Java: I can never see a cork without wanting to add it to Mary's 'collection" too. I think James would have been delighted to know that trigger has spread to so many other wonderful people like yourself. I know you like a guy who hugs with conviction, and James was one of the best at it. I'm sorry you never got to experience that.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556860299477514075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736689.post-20679320631709846902010-06-05T09:04:16.416-04:002010-06-05T09:04:16.416-04:00Oh Patrick.

I love your list and will think of you and James and your whole family in this anniversary weekend. Much love to you all.

There is a champaign cork on the floor in my office right now that the cat has been playing with.

It was great to see Margaret; and as she said, this year has taught her what empathy is all about. Wish I could have stayed to have a piece.
