I love being retired, and have for over 25 years. But I must admit, to a person used to doing important things, my days must sound very hum-drum. Like today. I left home around 11:00 took a bus downtown. Went to a bank in the federal building. Always fun; the worker to cop ratio in that place seems about 2:5. Very serious cops too.
Then I walked uptown to The market and had some oysters on the shell for lunch. Really different now that most of the tourists and cruise ship riders are gone. While in the market took a look at Vogue Huomo, in case they have suggestions for a frugal old man who is partial to carpenter jeans.
Looked around Macy's a while, I'm in the mood for a cashmere sweater. Enjoyed looking at all the stylish young downtown working women. A huge cut above the punk types and greens in my neighborhood.
After that I walked out to Whole Foods, and bought some grass fed burger, and a small hunk of grass fed brisket. I have a new high interest checking account that requires 12 debit purchases per month. By the time I had walked home I had 5 new ones, a head of broccoli here, a Diet Coke there. Now only 7 to go. 4 separate purchases of pork rinds will have me almost there.
So really, although I had a very pleasant day, all I did was open a bank account, eat some oysters, make some low $ grocery buys and stop at the Bauhaus for a superb cup of coffee. And walk about 6 miles. Every street in Seattle is different.
Like Cuppa Joe said, it was a lovely day out there.
