rebeccmeisterI kind of feel like errands ate up all the ambition I might possibly have had for today.
However, I did manage to contact people at my old rowing club, so that, at least, will get started up, and should help me do at least a little gradual fitness rebuilding before I get back to New York.
In the midst of my errands, I stopped in at Highwire Coffee Rosters, so the day did count as a bonus Coffeeneuring expedition, too.
I am pleased to have gotten 4 things in the mail, in total.
But it looks like Rigel Stuhmiller is no longer making flat card sets, just folded cards or postcards. So there goes one of my defaults for letter/note-writing. I really loved his flat cards but I reckon they might not have worked so well from a business standpoint. But I did see that he has a crow vinyl sticker design, so I might acquire some of those soon.
Life will go on, and I did manage to buy some small packages of cardstock at Payn's Stationery, but probably not nearly enough. So maybe I'll manage to get my act together enough to make my own card sets and then remember to have them with me for odd occasions when I want to send out cards.
I put the last 3 of the current ducks in one of the things I mailed, so once again, I no longer have any more ducks to give.
I can no longer remember which I like better from Berkeley Bowl, the Bulgarian feta or the French feta. It's also going to take me a little while to remember how to navigate here. I mean yeah, the Ohlone Greenway, but street names and how to get to the BAP and from there to campus and suchlike.

I can recognize where I am, I just don't remember the best way to get there. I did far better in both Seattle and Tempe, but I did live in those places for longer periods of time compared to California.
