Whiplash night

Had a lazy day in, didn't kayak because of rain.
Went to Grendel's, no one there at first. Group slowly built up. Lots of talking of stuff I'm not interested in, I zoned out, wondered while I was there.
Then a new guy came, and the conversation became more interesting to me. Poverty change detection and software reliability proofs and air safety and automated cars.

Then I went home and passed a memorial sign for a young homeless woman I used to talk to in Harvard Square. Only a handful of times over the past two years, I hardly knew her well, but still, someone I knew is dead. Can't help thinking I could have done more for her, or tried to, though I did do more than talk.

It's Thursday, the day after I have my impacted tooth extracted, so I don't even know if I'll be able to go to the memorial. Be my first one if I do.
