6 things I saw this weekend:

1. barren appartment–no overflowing bookshelves, no excessive furniture: overwhelming peace
2. discarded necklace, piled in golden mess
3. drunken couple falling over each other (he was giving her a piggy back ride and fell over), my parents walked past, holding hands
4. Chevy Chase Circle, without him
5. 1000s of individual cuts to fit tiles to a pretty pattern in the floor.
6. Happy birthday in chocolate syrup, with cheesecake.
