About 11 I got in Fred and drove to the Museum. The joint was jumpin’ with “techfest” a bunch of extra tables of people doing “maker” stuff, different 3D printers and little robots and what-not. I started right at 12 with a mob of 25 or so, and sped along so as to keep ahead of Jim doing the 12:15 tour. We kind of ran over a guy doing a private tour. I’ve seen him before, and been annoyed by him. He is probably doing a fine tour for a small group for a fee, but he damn well knows that we volunteer docents are coming through at 12 and 2pm, he could easily avoid us by just starting a half hour earlier or later, but no, he’s…. well bitch bitch. I gave a good tour, got a nice hand at the end, all was well.
Later in the afternoon Joanne and I went for a nice short walk. We were to meet again at 7 to walk to the Lucy Stern theater for a play at 7:30. But Joanne says, why don’t we leave earlier and try that new restaurant, Urban Momo? So we met again at 5:30 and walked the opposite way from the theater to the restaurant on University. It does Nepalese/Indian food. We had a starter and a Nepalese grilled chicken thing. The food was good, but the restaurant gets a big negative on account of noise. There were only like 3 other parties there and already it was hard to have a conversation. Too many hard surfaces. So for dessert we walked a couple of blocks to Ton Sui, a place that serves these little coconut puddings in half-pint mason jars. We shared a mango one.
Then as I had 3.3 miles on my health app and Joanne, 4, we called a Lyft to ride the mile to the theater where we saw The Cottage, a kind of pseudo-Noel-Coward comedy about three couples who discover they’ve been being unfaithful with each other’s spouses. It was fairly amusing.
And walked home in the dark, and it was a little chilly but not bad. Got my 10,000 steps in anyway.
