– Yesterday, I had some time to kill between work and meeting friends at eight, so I went to Greeley Square and got some reading done. It was nice – strange weather, but in a good way.

… Read the rest– It’s just a crappy week, that’s all. But last night the wife and I ate gnocchi and watched Rome, so that was nice.
