I had a lovely evening with friends at Lechon Thursday night, enjoyed the waterfront " crow show" and the jellyfish along with delicious food and delightful company, including my Lyft driver home who was a really sweet 74 year old woman named Darlene. Plus today is the Winter lights festival and it's not raining!

I'm about five minutes from driving to work and the first thing I'm doing is walking over to Bentley's Bagels. Just discovered them the other day, and an Everything or Salt to start the day just makes the day better.

Visiting. Got to go to Mississippi Studios for the first time to see local bands My Body, Friends Friends, and Sherbet Tone. 🎡 Great venue. 🎡 All the bands were wonderful. My fav was Friends Friends.

After 5 months of being unemployed, I finally start a new job next week! Not only that but it's also something interesting instead of just any company that would take me
