I walked home today from the U. It was my first time at my office in a couple of weeks, since I’d been in Seattle all of last week and in any case don’t make it to my office much over the summer. I’m happy to note two things about campus: (1) the Taylor Family Library (or is it still Taylor Family DIGITAL Library?) is not just topped off, but is also having its beautiful aluminum and glass cladding/windows installed and will look FANTASTIC, and (2) the air conditioning is back on in my office so I might be spending more time there over the next few months.
Summer is too short.
Anyway, here’s the route I took, with stops for lunch at Shawarma Station on 10 St in Kensington, then an ice cream cone from a truck that sells those cones with the striped deals (I got butterscotch and this soft-serve is rrrrich and delicious), then a pretty disappointing espresso at Artigiano (too long, too hot) and a little double-back to check out the construction on their new location in Shell Centre, on the 3rd Ave side (so it’ll be at 3rd and 3rd SW), then a little Italian juice bottle and chat at Kawa, then home. Nice day for it, to put it too mildly- brilliant perfect weather.
