This morning I had a meeting my adviser; it went very<\/em> well, and lasted four hours. I came away feeling optimistic about my work and some future prospects. I then walked to town and wrote for a couple hours while sitting at Fair Trade drinking two glasses of iced coffee and people watching. And there were some glorious people-watching opportunities — it is summer, after all. We met earlier at Ground Zero, which had that great punny coffee shop name long before 9\/11.

The next day the grad students (including me) stopped there for coffee before heading out of town. At the one here in Madison, which was mostly deserted this evening, I ordered the grilled turkey and brie sandwich … and, as I described the people watching … it was glorious, a great mix of meat and cheese with a spicy honey-mustard sauce of sorts that seemed more like horseradish but was delicious on their “artisan” bread. The cashier was friendly and almost witty, perhaps bored by the lack of customers. I finished and walked nearby to Four-Star and spent the better part of half and hour picking out action-oriented films to watch this weekend.
