Busy Day

I was looking forward to having breakfast with fellow blogger Zee this morning, and wasn’t disappointed. Because it’s always a good time when people on antidepressants get together, right? They must work: even though we talked about a lot of not-so-much-fun stuff, it wasn’t depressing. And the food was yummy, with the possible exception of the chicken sausage patty Zee got when she was expecting normal sausage links.

After that, I headed downtown, intending to kill some time before a 2:00 trip to the Art Museum. I killed more time than intended in my car, when I found myself trapped by the Gay Pride Parade. Traffic was at a near standstill and there seemed to be no way to get past Broadway. Eventually I found a parking spot on First. I did the crossword puzzle and went over to the library to read a magazine. Finally, 1:45 rolled around, and I headed to the museum, where I joined a MiPL group going to the traveling exhibit of Rembrandt and other 17th century Dutch artists. Some nice stuff. But the audio tour was a bit banal.

After that, to late late lunch / early early dinner at DragonFish with some of the MiPL folks from the museum. That was pretty good; they have a Saturday and Sunday “brunch dim sum” menu where you get your choice of three small plates, miso soup, and edamame, all for $12. Well worth it. And it was a funny, sociable group of people too.

After that, I called up my friend G, and we spent some time up at Pittock Mansion, just taking in the view and talking. We’re becoming pretty close friends, which is great. Even if she can’t ever win a game of Killer Bunnies against me :-P
