Vacant Square
Just finished lunch — tamales from the stand at the farmers’ market at the UN Plaza. I had hoped to play a game of chess, do a little observation, ask some questions (number one question in my mind, right now: Who owns these boards and pieces?), but when I got to the usual chess location down at Market and 5th, the plaza was empty. Well, not empty exactly — there were maybe a dozen people hanging about (which is fairly normal, as best I can tell), but no chess players. I heard one middle-aged white man with a Red Sox baseball cap say something about chess, but he was talking with someone else, and I didn’t want to interrupt their conversation.
I’ll go back after work. In the mean time, the world needs some alphabetisation and filing. Yee-hah! Oh sweet Jesus please bring me coffee…
