After that disastrous job interview with the arrogant 27 year old, I went to a press dinner with Mark. This was our first course, a tasting of five different oysters with three different wines. I should have known that even a fancy dinner was not capable of salvaging the terrible day. Unsurprisingly, this dinner was also disastrous. Don't ask me what happened. I'm trying to flush it from my memory. Chalk it up to a yucky week.—SF
