After finishing my lunch Saturday I sat around at my (outdoor) table reading a New Yorker, then after getting a call back from Matt I took a quick visit to the nearby central library before going to Pioneer Square to wait for him.
The weather was perfect, and I had a nice time just sitting there, reading a paper, and occasionally looking up to watch passerby.
When Matt arrived we sat on the steps there a little longer and talked, then took his car to drop in on another old college friend, Nat, and his family.
In addition to 3 kids, he and his wife have two dogs, a cat, 8 chickens, two ducks, and some goldfish. I may have missed someone. And, of course, a large garden. They fed and watered us, and kept us chatting till well after night. What a nice evening!
