Monday, Day 11

1It's nice to be able to go out to dinner on a weekday and not have to worry about getting home early because of work the next day. This was Tom's actual birthday, so we took Matt and Kathy with us and went to Le Pigeon. (No fancy pronunciation when I called for a reservation: "Pigeon" was pronounced just the way we Amuricuns would.) Bacon apricot cornbread with maple ice cream. Yum.

Tom packed one more box of books. I liberated a box from Ted's collection of very useful objects that he's temporarily storing with us. I moved Ted's stuff into a more compact arrangement because there's a whole mess of stuff that needs to come down from upstairs. There's still about a shelf's worth of books to go. I hope that one day soon I will be able to say that all the books are packed. I'm getting a bottle of shampain ready for that event.

 In the meantime, here's the count. Sabbatical Useful Projects Running Count: Started-6, Completed-5.1, Contemplated-.85.
