And the summer keeps rolling along

Wasn't it a great day yesterday?

We started with brekkies at Whole Foods, which is always fun (and about all we can afford there). Otis was paying a visit to her grandma in the morning, during which I went down to the B-G and made another fast run from Gasworks to Matthews Beach and back (not as fst as JustJon, though). This was cool because we had wound up not riding on Thursday night after all, so I needed to turn some pedals.

After the ride, I picked both ladies up and we went to lunch at Chef Liao's on the Ridge. I do miss me that food, and we try to get back there frequently. We had just enough time for a nice lunch before Otis and I had to shoot down to Pioneer Square to help her brother load his apartment into one of those door-to-door moving crates. Not to bad a task: no stairs and lots of rolling carts, so we got a heck of a lot done in a short time.

That left us a good chunk of the afternoon to wander around in an ultimately fruitless search (even with telemetry from Dingo) for some massage supplies that Otis needed. On the bright sidfe, we did have a nice tour of the city.

Dinner held a pleasant surprise: we wanted to go out someplace air-conditioned and I had been hankering for a good, old-fashioned salad bar, so for a lack of othe roptions we decided to go to Marie Callendar's of all places. It turned out that there soup and salad bar deal was actually pretty good - at least, it hit the spot last night. A little too pricey, though.

We remained in consumer mode after dinner, and got some supplies for the Saturday night SOS and other housleholdy stuff on the way home. (We have added red kitchen curtains to the turquoise - orange - pale purple - deep purple - blue color scheme of the main floor.)

Mostly work today, I think, before the playtime tonight - hope to see ya'll there!
