Hey I’m in Bishop right now…..getting internet at the Looney Bean Coffee Shop on Main Street. It’s 8:14 am, and I’m drinking dark roast coffee. Not out of a mug though, out of a heavy cardboard cup or disposable paper cup or whatever it’s called. I think I prefer to drink out of mugs when I get coffee-for-here in a coffee shop, I don’t know why. And when they have just a rag-tag collection of random mugs and you get a crazy one about the best way to eat lobster, or an all pink mug, whatever, it just feels really homey served in a mug. Other than that, though this is a really nice place, with some tables and comfy leather chairs by the windows and free wi-fi. The drive to Bishop was nice, listened to M83, The Beach Boys, Ben Folds, Robbie Fulks and Paul Burch. We drove past my grandparents old house. I haven’t been to that house in maybe 16 years. It’s still beautiful. There is a stream that runs down the entire length of the street in front of all the houses and almost every property has a pond in the front yard, and with the running stream the water isn’t stagnant or gross. Spent yesterday afternoon hanging out with my Grandma Sheila (it’s her birthday today) doing puzzles and playing Scrabble, reading a little bit (finished Winter of our Discontent) and watched part of Psycho (the original, not the remake). I’m not sure what the plan is for today. I think my cousin Lisa and her son Darren are gonna stop by for lunch. Probably finish the puzzle that my Grandma and I started, then in the early evening leave for home. Music for the ride home: Idlewild, Aretha Franklin, Belle & Sebastian, some other stuff I forget what is actually in the car.
