1. Finally getting to the Bethel Gallery after all these months of meaning to. Susannah Bielak's carved Formica table was lovely.
2. Art Shanties! Too many good things to list all of them here.
3. Having the good sense to squeeze in a half-hour walking workout at the Y that pulled me out of my post-Shoebox-show blues.
4. Lift Bridge's Farm Girl Saison is on tap at Pizza Luce. $5 for a pint plus an excellent pepperoni and olive slice for dinner. And pleasant company from Mike T.
5. Ginger ale instead of beer the rest of the evening.
6. Lots of nice conversations at Fox Tax, especially a funny "you're not from here!" one with Lauren.
7. A nice chat with David Hamlow at F+C.
8. A better show and better time than I expected at the Umber opening.
9. Possible employment connections there, too.
10. A warm cozy bedroom when I got home at 11:30... oops, left the heater on all day but I'm not fretting about the bill: a good thing.
