Couldn’t take the usual walk this morning, one because Joanne was entertaining a friend visiting from Portland, and two, because I had a telemedicine appointment at 9. This was with Dr. Tamrazi, the guy who had drained my renal cyst twice before, in 2021 (Day 2.238) and in December 2022 (Day 3.364). We had a pleasant chat and decided to drain it yet again although “It will fill again” he said. This will be on October 20 or 23, tbd.
Then I walked to Cafe Zoe and the long way back, skirting the creek (3.6 miles for the day).
Practiced guitar a while. I’m getting closer to being able to play “Bye Bye Love”. At 4:30 I changed into slightly nicer clothes and at 5, joined Joanne and David and Karen on the 11th floor for the Webster Street Grille. This is a monthly event where dining services gets to pretend to be a high-class restaurant, laying out a five-course meal of fancy cuisine on the 11th floor. You have to make reservations in advance and there’s a charge, I forget how much (it goes on my monthly bill) but less than a real fancy restaurant would cost. David and Karen had invited me and Joanne to join them. Very pleasant dinner.
Afterward we walked a few blocks to the President Hotel, which has a rooftop bar. Unfortunately nobody had thought to reserve in advance and it was a 40 minute wait for a table on the rooftop terrace. So we admired the view for a few minutes and walked home again.
