Pandemic Journal, Day 597

We’re at SFO to fly to Boston and visit Jeff.

One of my credit cards includes a Priority Pass membership, which is mostly useful for lounge access, but at SFO, it also gives us a credit at the Lark Creek Grill – which made it the obvious place to have lunch before our flight. We each had lox and bagels with a sorbet chaser and it cost $8.42 plus tip, a real bargain!

SFO also has art exhibitions; the one across from the restaurant was Mathematics: Vintage and Modern. We didn’t have a lot of time to look at it, but I enjoyed seeing some of Cliff Stoll’s Klein bottle sculptures.

I also liked the vintage math toys – my favorite was the “Think-A-Tron” from Hasbro. I didn’t have one as a kid, but I do remember playing with it. Computers have come a long way since then!

Onward to Boston!

Pandemic Journal, Day 596

Today was another pretty quiet day – and then we got busy with packing, so I have nothing of significance to write about.

The neighbors who used skeletons to create very interesting tableaux on their lawn during the first year of the pandemic let them come out and play for Halloween. It was good to see Bones and Skully again!
