Ten.One Thousand, Five Hundred & Fifty-Seven

1. Goal: Comfort

2. Plain bagel with butter. Coffee.

3. The problem with sleeping in just a little bit is that you feel like you’ve lost your whole morning.

4. I explain to him the name and what it is and how it can expand.

5. Cold hands.

6. A gentle breeze blows through, scattering leaves from the persimmon tree.

7. New fact: people race pigeons.

8. We keep talking about the foods we will miss. I keep thinking about the conversations I will miss.

9. Ribs and Caesar salad and baked beans. 2015 Apsara Whole Cluster Syrah. 2003 Arnot-Roberts Syrah. 2015 Shared Notes Sauvignon Blanc. Prager Later Harvest Riesling with a small slice of blueberry pie. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a dinner like this.

10. Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
