( raw notes )

The highlight of the late morning was an expedition to the Pruneyard mall, which has a Barnes&Noble and a Trader Joe's in close proximity. I had a blast watching Naomi and Colleen zip around on their scooters. I scored a book on sleep (30% off) and a Complete Stories of Arthur C. Clarke.

I got quite a lot of wonderful, calm, Middle-Sized Bear time with Naomi. She raised the fascinating, difficult question of "what do you get out of doing this?" It's one that Jen asked during her last visit back in April, and I still don't have an answer. I'm gradually learning that I don't really have to have an answer, but I'm still intrigued by it. Or maybe it's just the pleasure of having a lovely woman snuggled up next to me.

Gave Naomi my big suitcase (it was cheap, and has maybe two or three trips left in it) so she could take Mufasa (the new djembe) up to Seattle with her; she'll bring it with her to OVFF.

I had trouble getting to sleep. But it was a very good day, a little bitter-sweet knowing that Naomi was going home in the morning.
