Friday marked the start of the long Easter weekend and I\u2019m really enjoying staying in and reading. It\u2019s a lovely time in the city, as most folks take advantage of the long weekend and leave town. John took me to a very cool Nordic restaurant, Sal, Friday night \u2014 the chef had catered an event John attended at the Norwegian embassy and came home raving about the food. On Saturday night, Jill gave us her reservation at Anchoita; they open reservations a year in advance and they get snapped up quickly \u2014 yikes! It was our second time there, and it was also very good. We sat at the bar surrounding the open kitchen, which was fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I finished the very excellent memoir \u201cSalt Path\u201d (thanks, Joan!) and really enjoyed it, then read \u201cHigh Conflict,\u201d a really interesting discussion of how people get into an \u201cus vs them\u201d mentality. I\u2019m now reading our book club pick, \u201cJust Kids,\u201d by Patti Smith. We\u2019ve been watching \u201cThe 3 Body Problem\u201d on Netflix \u2014 a local billboard says to the series’ aliens: \u201cWe\u2019ve got more than 3 problems – are you sure you want to come?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
