It’s been a lovely couple of days off, but now I must pretend to be a responsible adult again. Not that anyone really buys that, but it doesn’t hurt to try now and then. Best part about today? I should have a little better than two hours to kill downtown, so I’m taking myself out for sushi. For those of you who live in a place where good sushi is regularly available, that’s not a big deal. But for those of us who pretty much have to take a plane if we want to see an ocean, it’s huge. I was very fortunate about a year ago to finally find a place right downtown that offers up a decent product (just don’t get their miso soup), and without being ridiculously expensive. Which is very rare here, and much appreciated.
