Tomorrow I’ll be seeing The Place Beyond The Pines, but today is a day for sycamores & maples.

Since my arrival here on Thursday morning, I have bought groceries from the organic market across town, given myself an at-home spa day, run into several people who didn’t know I was in town (because I didn’t tell anyone beforehand apart from my grandfolks), organized a sort of reverse surprise party for some more friends who didn’t know I was in town, played an electric cello, & introduced myself to three of the Starbucks partners I will be working with for my time up here. In other news, I’m on my second iced chai of the night, & it is delicious.

And with that, I’ll say good night, friends. I’m off to sleep, for tomorrow, I make tiramisu.
