Most of us have has a wonderful Seattle summer, cool, foggy and wet - but we don't live in Seattle do we? Of course, in Seattle they've got temps in the 90's and 100's - usually unheard of. It's another episode of global weirding - I haven't checked today, but perhaps it's back to foggy and cold in Seattle. So Steve and I are back to being holed up in the house. Today we made it out to run errands in the am - which turned into this absolutely ridiculous driveathon of trying to find media shelves for Steve's CD collection instead of the nasty thing that we have in the family room now. It was a freecycle find, so it was never more than a holder until we could have a piece of furniture that we actually loved. But trying to get from place to place with Steve is always an adventure in "if I go this way" I'm not sure what he's trying to outwit, trafficwise, but I think that a map and a plan are probably much easier on the fuel gauge.
Anyhow, for my sins we had brunch at Mildred's corner cafe, this fun little corner diner on the Lynn Swampscott line that I've been trying to get him to for a couple of years. Finally did, and honestly since I can't imagine when, if ever I will be returning to Swampscott or the church out there, a rather nice way to book end those two years. Food was good, inexpensive and the ambience - Kiss me Kate playing on the tv's and movie memorabilia from the golden age of Hollywood (pre-sixties I think - no Doctor Zhivago at any rate) - was a lot of fun. We played trivial pursuit while we waited for our meals, first the Silver Screen version - at which we completely and totally sucked and then the more prosaic original version which saw a vast improvement. I guess we should watch more movies?
