Griff's, then Jn's

Wednesday: Woke around 8 PST, in the big inflatable bed, Y just leaving for work. Slept a little more, and had a wonderful dream featuring His Holiness the Dalai Lama as a shoe salesman. Finally got up around 9. Morning practices in the spare room. Shower. Put away the inflatable bed. Some computering, and a disappointing email from someone dabbling in NST. Checked in on Griff a couple of times, but he was still sleeping. Took a drive into town and had a great early-afternoon breakfast at a local diner. Picked out a card to send back home.

Back at Griff's he was still not in evidence. Played guitar for about an hour. Then, it was time to leave. Griff was finally up so got to say goodbye. Wrote a card to MB. Driving. Got on 101 heading the wrong direction, and it took a bit to realize my mistake. Raining. Called Jn. Across the Richmond Bridge to Berkely.

At Jn's place, and hanging out talking about the weekend and the evening. Eventually I went out and picked up some groceries, Thai food, and a chicken leg for Jn. The chicken place was a bit over busy. I gave the woman a $20 bill. She said "Do you have anything smaller?" I gave her two fives. When I said "And, I'll need the $20 bill back." She just looked at me blankly. I had to repeat myself.

Jn and I ate a little, then guests started arriving. We had a good session, and then some food. Hanging out with Jn, and then a relatively early bed, sleeping on a fur rug on top of a shiatsu mat in the living room.
