1.  On Friday, Besos met me at my office.  She wanted to see where I work.  Why?  I don’t know.  I don’t like to see where I work on a daily basis so I can’t explain these things.

2.  On the walk to the train, we contemplated eating downtown before deciding to cook at my place.  I stopped into a bread/cheese/wine store to get a baguette.  Then, about a half block later, we decided to eat at a restaurant we passed.  This meant I had a 2 1/2 foot baguette perched next to my chair as we ate.  And that I was carrying it along with us on the street afterwards.  I realized that it would not be much good to us tomorrow and I really couldn’t be bothered to continue carrying it so I told Besos I was going to give it away.  And less than a half block later, we walked by a woman holding a sign that said, “I’m just hungry.”  So I handed her the baguette.

She looked at me like I was crazy.

I said to Besos, “I gave away the bread.”  She said, “Aw, you gave bread to the hungry lady who is really just hungry for crack.”

3.  I printed and framed about 20 photos this weekend.  Almost all of them 18 x 12.  A few much larger than that.  About 12 are for other people.  A few black and white series of my parents with my sister’s kids. Will surprise them.  I also finally framed the poster below (though mine is 2008/2009).  I managed to sweet talk the poster away (for free!) from a certain member of the opposite sex who was plastering them up throughout Venice when I was in Italy last spring.  WOOT!
