I had lunch with my table group—which is the first time that I’ve had a table leader make such a suggestion. It felt a little strange not being at the same table as my friends, but it was interesting to hear some of the other situations that my fellow Readers are dealing with back at their schools (many of which are still in session). Hearing them, I am both concerned about our public school institution due to its use as a political football and heartened to know that such great educators are doing so many amazing things.
I didn’t do anything interesting afterwards. I stopped by the Spider-Man exhibition near our hotel only to discover that it’s not open any of the times that we would be available to see it. I discovered that the park between there and our hotel is a Korean War Memorial. I also had the slight moral victory of deciding not to stop by a nearby ice cream place—although; I do plan on losing that struggle at some point next week.
Tomorrow will have me working on a Sunday (which I don’t like), but I do still plan on going to mass at the nearby Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception afterwards.
