Downtime
July 13, 2011
This is my very frequent, post-walk hangout where, 3-4 times a week, a large cafe au lait and poppy seed muffin are had while cooling off and continuing conversations started while powering around the arboretum. Today, no walk, no planned company. I sat here for a few hours (really) and read, caught up on news, wrote, listened to some great music, and had the usual coffee/muffin. No crowds; the students are gone and downtown Davis is relatively quiet. I ran into a very old friend and spent about an hour with another discussing the ins and outs of nonprofit management, and then retirement, and then travel, and then the state of the world.
Feeling like there’s room.. to think, to reflect, to socialize. Am definitely appreciating this time.

We should socialize there again–you can sell me on Google+. I thought Mishka’s had moved to its new location. No? Looks like the same old place we’ve met so often.

well, i don’t know if i’m in a position to promote google+, but getting together always appeals. is there a time frame that works for you?

oh, also: this IS their new location. they retained the same floor plan, more or less, same approximate footprint, and same design scheme. i was a little disappointed (it’s comfy, but i’d have wanted more room and *something* new), but i really like it there.

My time is a lot more free than yours. What works for you?

I didn’t think anyone’s time was more free than mine… i’ve got a lot of free time these days. i’m around all next week. Monday or Wednesday, 9:00am or 10:00am?
