Lama Zopa

Friday: Woke around 10. Web. Back to bed and slept into the afternoon. Much needed. Shower. Gus treatments. He seems to be more arthritic today, but still hanging in. MB had already fed the cats, but Gus wanted some more. Quick bowl of cereal. Down basement, morning practices, drums. The 2x3s I had used for hinge anchors for the furnace closet doors, were warped, so I chopped each into three pieces. Headed off across town. Sunny hot and humid.

Short day at the office. Got the UI code up and running. Perhaps not ideal, but each alternative had its down-sides as well. Quick burrito. At 6:30 I drove to Porter Sq to attend the launch of Lama Zopa's new book. Found parking. Not as full as I would have expected, but there wasn't a lot of publicity. He spoke for about an hour. Wnd was there, so walked out with her. I got some green tea ice cream and she picked up some Japanese noodles. Walked her to her car. Drove home stopping at the Somerville hill.

MB and I chatted a bit in the dance room about Circulation Project logistics. Then, we took a walk down to the donut shop. Weird vibe in the air tonight. Two doors down, a group of Hispanics were hanging out on the front steps, eating ribs, raising children, and throwing trash into the street. At the donut shop, bikers and meth addicts. Then, we walked to the shopping center and picked up some groceries, including the ingredients for root-beer floats.

Back home, MB cut mold off a big block of cheese. Grilled cheese and root-beer floats. Mmmm. Down basement, changed the strings on my electric. An hour of practicing, in headphones. Soon to complete the day.
