Beautiful day
Yesterday’s weather was so nice I just couldn’t stay inside. So I took a book (I’m giving The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay another shot) over to Forest Park. I found a quiet spot to read and spent an hour and a half out there. The weather today is similarly gorgeous, so maybe I’ll do it again today.
Jeff crashed on my couch last night. He was coming through St. Louis on his way back from a wedding in Chicago, but his car started to make some troubling noises, so in order to be safe, he decided to stay the night and have it looked at the next day.
It’s always good to see him. We talked last night about the possibility of my buying a house, which has been on my mind since playing with Phil on Saturday. The possibility of purchasing an inexpensive fixer-upper in a rising neighborhood such as Old North St. Louis intrigues me, but makes me nervous as well. I wish I had a firmer knowledge of my future at Wash U., but right now I don’t know how much longer I’ll be there. I suppose in some sense it doesn’t matter—I could just get a job elsewhere. But buying a house here also means that I’m probably staying here for a while, and while that has some definite attractions, I still haven’t let go of the idea that I’ll go back to Chicago.
I guess I should call Dad and see what he thinks about it.
