Volume 16 - Day 294/72, 2024 - Sunday

I guess this is a sign of the times...I joined friends at this place two weeks ago for brunch, and when we showed up there this morning, this sign greeted us. I think they had a good business, it was always busy when we were there, Only explanation is maybe there was a rent increase, maybe there are other things I am not privileged to know. We (me, Alisha and Reuben) went to the Original Pancake House, one of my favorite places after Paulina and Val introduced it to me a few months ago. We had a great brunch, and then it was back home. I did stop at HEB for a few grocery things, less than $40, and then headed home for a nap. Later on, I went to Michael's to have a print (that I got in Arles a few months ago) framed, and it will be ready in a couple weeks. Overall, it was a nice day, I finished reading (listening to) at book that Jay recommended to me, called Following Atticus, and I will give it a day or two before I start a new book. I have a recommendation from Kristen at the blood bank (We Are Blood) for a book called Bride by Ali Hazelwood. She said it is an easy read, and that is just what I need about now. Has anybody read it? Opinions? Also thinking about Goyhood, by Reuven Fenton which sounds interesting. I am always open to new books, so let me know if you have any favorites. Paul and I had a nice walk this morning, it was 55 degrees, and it should be about ten degrees warmer tomorrow morning. We will be back up to the mid-90s by the middle of the week, and then (maybe) some cooler weather this coming weekend. I am truly tired of the fake fall.
