After working a little late at work tonight, I took the subway home back to my local stop. Tonight was the first time doing the mile walk from station to house. Along the way, I discovered that the Barbarian, a comic book store I used to haunt back in high school (over 25 years ago!), is still in business (1), but keeping funky hours (2). I also stopped by the public library to grab some library card forms and verified that they have free wifi. I was drenched in sweat by the time I got to the house, and today wasn't extremely hot. I'm not sure how committed I'll be to walking when it's 95+ degrees out. Wife Amy stayed home today to take delivery of our new king-sized bed (3), which will feel damn good to collapse into shortly. And despite repeated calls, Comcast Cable never showed up for their appointment today. Typical. Amy also found my Kyocera Digital camera (4), which got packed up with some clothes for the last two months.
