Flight was delayed. I decided to splurge for economy plus. Not sure it was worth it, but ah well. Decided against usual policy to get a window seat. Didn’t feel cramped but I did annoy my seat mates when I had to wake them up twice in order to use the potty. Ah well.
By the time I got to the hostel, I was pretty damned tired and really didn’t feel like doing a lot more. I did go for a pretty healthy walk looking for food that wasn’t Vietnamese or Chinese (just wasn’t in the mood) and walked through some interesting neighborhoods (especially the one I am staying in). Lots of people live in the streets around here. But most of them leave people alone. I suppose with the rent prices in SF and the lovely temperate weather, I’d be tempted to live on the streets myself.
Have three roommates. Mary – a woman about my age; Tara – a few years younger; and the third whose name I have forgotten, who is my favorite of the three. Tara did nothing but complain about Mary – who she thought was making too much noise in the early morning. Sigh. It is a VERY small room for four people, tho’. This hostel is really hoppin’ though.
Had a lazy morning – worked out details for the day, and continued reading the three books I am reading concurrently.* Changed one of my plans – instead of doing a class at the Citadel, I opted to do the Cal Academy of Sciences special Thursday night, adults only “party” rather than try to cram it in with the rest of Golden Gate Park.
*Books I’m reading:
- Love in Abundance by Kathy Labriola
- Profit Over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order by Noam Chomsky
- Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom by Rick Hanson and Richard Mendius
