We did more today than we normally do in a month. This morning we met Kelly, Dan, Maggie and Quinn for breakfast at Old Wives Tales — I had almond crepes with marionberry compote — excellent but filling. We tried to organize a get together with the other XO people in town but didn’t work out so it was just the 6 of us and worked out perfect. From there we went to Hawthorn Powell’s and looked at books and I didn’t find anything I couldn’t live without — unbelievable. Then we went and checked out Matt’s new place off of 39th. He bought this giant funky house and he only moved in a couple weeks ago and he’s already looking pretty settled. He and Bob are getting their plan ready for their festival run. Then we went to the Delta Park Pow Wow which was fantastic except rainy and chilly. We watched the dancers for a couple hours and I won $26 in 50-50. Bob bought an Indian taco and a buffalo burger and I spent my winnings at the vendors and got a really cool pair of beaded earrings. Great day. Now we’re curling up on the couch with a fire in the fireplace and some stuff to read.
