Had quite a good day today. Introduced a friend of ours to a new brunch place, which we all seemed to enjoy, then went back to our apartment for the ongoing marathon of "Babylon 5".
This evening, Rachal and I went to the symphony, stopping off at Tarj-ay beforehand so she could buy a replacement purse. I gently rejected the cashier's kind offer of a plastic bag in which to tote this new handbag out of the store; I was afraid the recursion would cause one of them to disappear, like that life raft bug in Zork.
The symphony was excellent, although we continued our habit of leaving at intermission. Since the scheduled pianist had taken ill, we were not, as it was explained to us, subjected to a piano concerto rearranged for orchestra and accordion, but instead were treated to Beethoven's Fifth. A crowd pleaser, to be sure, but a good filler if one is scrambling to fill the program when your guest musician gets sick.
We had a good nosh on the way home, too, and are now about to head off to sleepy-bye. Hope your weekend is as pleasant.
