dchenesIt happened to be a nice day, so I walked up to Coolidge Corner. I had intended to go to the bank, go to Trader Joe's and come home again, but it didn't work that way. I decided to enjoy myself a little, so it went bank, Brookline Booksmith's used book section, JP Licks, Trader Joe's.
At Brookline Booksmith I found a used copy of Harry and the Sea Serpent by Gahan Wilson. I love that book, and never owned it, although I got it out of the library a lot. So now I own it, and it cost all of $3. Happy camper.
I have no excuses for going to JP Licks. I really didn't need a milkshake, but I got one anyway.
Trader Joe's was a bit of a mob scene, but I managed to get in and out fairly expediently, and without a whole lot of "fell off the shelf and landed in the cart" stuff (although the freeze-dried strawberries got me; I'm curious). So after that I got on the bus to come home and put away the milk.
As usual there was a major exodus off the bus at Brigham Circle, and I had to get up to let the guy in the inside seat out. While I was getting out of his way and out of the way of everybody else getting off the bus, I looked up and in the exodus, there was a woman I went to high school with and hadn't seen in about five years.
Errandipity. If I hadn't gone to the bookstore and JP Licks, I wouldn't have been on that bus.
Now to see if my oven is going to continue to behave.
