Not much doin’ today. About 9:30 I took Fred down to FOPAL for a meeting of section managers. This was because Sven, the new volunteer coordinator, had made some changes in the layout of the main sale room, enlarging some sections, moving others. No change to my section, so whatever.
As I was putting the car away I saw Joanne coming down the street, back from getting a haircut and a pedi, and we had lunch together. Being early we could have sat at a table for 2 but on the spur of the moment I said, or we could sit at a table for 4 and see who comes along? She said, whatever you like, so we did that. Soon were joined by Bob and by Carolyn, 6th floor neighbors. Nice chat. After a break for a short nap, we met again for a walk down to Pardee park. We explored the community garden area behind that park, which I had only heard of, not seen, and she didn’t know existed. Just a bunch of plots that people can garden in, but interesting to see what people grow.
Walking back we talked about our relationship, and how we both feel it is good that we do not spend all our time to together, and although it was spur of the moment, it was just the right thing to sit at a bigger table and invite other people, rather than pairing off and being an exclusive couple.
