eating out

incandescensWork day went much as expected: too much work, too little day.
My parents are visiting this weekend, and came up on the train this afternoon. We went out for supper together to a local place -- hadn't been there before, but it's quite decent -- and I am now stuffed. Also tired. Tomorrow we go to York. There will be lunch at Betty's, and supper at a local Japanese restaurant in the evening.
I was also able to surprise my parents by showing them the copy of GURPS Vorkosigan. They were very impressed. I was very happy.
Excellent day.
(Now have two new complete madlibs for the panel at Yaoicon, plus three from last year. That should be enough.)
(And chocolate, of course.)

Sit
Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
You're twenty-six, and still have some of life ahead.
No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.
The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
This twenty minutes' rendezvous will make my day:
To sit here in the sun, with grackles all around,
Staring with beady eyes, and you two feet away.
