Over to Sushi\/Hot Wok for supper.\u00a0 Lee waited on me with the kind of deference and almost invisibility that only Japanese can manage.\u00a0 The food was good, I looked out over Michigan Avenue toward Millennium Park.<\/p>\n
Here’s a weird note.\u00a0 Suddenly my right hip has begun to act up.\u00a0 Made being on my feet for a long time or going for long walks painful.\u00a0 Tired tonight as a result.<\/p>\n
Got a recommendation for a jazz place, The Backroom, but the first show starts at 9:00 pm.\u00a0 We don’t have anything that starts at 9:oo pm in Andover.\u00a0 The concierge gave me a promotional pass for the $20 cover charge and it’s only a $6 cab ride away, but I find myself unwilling to get up and go.<\/p>\n
I have these odd notions of frugality.\u00a0 If I spend money getting somewhere, I should see as much as I can. That leads me to overdo it.\u00a0 So, I feel guilty about not going.\u00a0 I also turn off my cell phone to save the battery.\u00a0 I discovered Kate thought it was because I didn’t want to talk to anybody.\u00a0 Well, maybe a little, but more the frugality part.<\/p>\n
The energy here is good.\u00a0 The city is busy, people rushing here and there with serious intent, a few loitering, one older black man\u00a0 sitting on his soft-sided suitcase, head in his hands.\u00a0 The trains rattle by overhead and the Lake sends in a breeze from not far away.\u00a0 Buildings here reach up, they do scrape the sky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
