Saturday Night, May 26

May 26, 2018

1) First back porch coffee of the season.

2) The day included (but was not limited to): English Country House Murders, MBTA shuttle between Forest Hills and Jackson Square, "The Continental," Charlie Chan at the Opera, a ~45-minute walk from my office in Cambridge to my barber on Washington Street, a much-needed haircut, and the sighting of a dishtowel that read "Bitch, I am the secret ingredient."

3) I spent almost five hours at the office and accomplished only half of what I intended. Happy with progress, but will have to complete work from home on Sunday.

BONUS: Drinks and dinner with a friend at ye Bytchyre Shoppe, featuring conversation (at different points) about work life, the royal family, the city, and retirement plans.

BONUS II: I was off ye Fycebykke all day - ALL day - and now I wish I hadn't logged back in because the news is so distressing and it's just before bedtime. #nightmares
