Greetings from Darwin’s on Cambridge Street, Cambridge. It’s pleasantly and surprisingly uncrowded, and the Wi-Fi is free, so we’re having some afternoon coffees and poring through our California books to see what we want to do for our big California vacation in a few months (to celebrate 5 years of marital bliss). We had some sandwiches for lunch, I went off to get a haircut at Custom Barber Shop in Harvard Square, where I’ve been getting my hair cut for 9.5 years, picked up the car in the lot at Central Square lot, where we parked when we went to the gym, and had no trouble getting another spot right in front of Darwin’s. Good conversation in progress. Planning is going well. Of course, it helps that Terri is a great trip planner, and already has things very well thought through.

The entire city is blissfully free of both students, who are gone for the summer, and townies, who are away for the long Independence Day weekend.

On July 9, I’ll celebrate 10 years of living in the Greater Boston area.

Music on rotation here:

• Repo Man soundtrack
• some Dylan greatest hits thingie
• the recent Morrissey album
• for better or worse, Bob Marley
• some band doing a cover of The Passenger

I guess we’re starting to audition new hangouts, or getting used to there being no Someday. At least I am.
