Day ten (afternoon)

In my distraction and haste at the end of the day (I sure as hell
wasn't going to stay late on a day when I had already taken half of a
vacation day), I left my keys on my desk when walking out with Greg
and Evelyn to go get a drink. (The toast was to "survival.") I only
realized when I got downtown to transfer to the Red Line. So now, I
ride the Green Line back and forth with the bandits who are encouaged
by the warm weather wonderingvwhat the status of the kitchen really is.
