Things I didn’t do: visit Fremont or the University District; go on a ferry; get out of the city; drink coffee; go kayaking.

Things I did: stayed in a pleasant B&B; walked; bought yet more used CDs; met Mr. Clark of Clark’s shoes; read email; walked; went on the excellent underground tour; watched movies; walked; bought clothes; finally read the increasingly heartbreaking A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius in a perfect coffee shop; thought about how I could avoid returning to Houston.
