It was a low-key evening last night. I walked home from work. Shobhit and I made a salad for dinner, combining bags of lettuce greens with several chopped vegetables, as well as a sample I brought home from work of "cauliflower crumbles." Along with a ranch dressing sample also taken home from work, it was really delicious.
I also made chai. Yay chai!
Shobhit watched news programs online for much of the evening. I spent some time editing collection description fields on Flickr. I had run across a reference somewhere to the trip I had taken to Vancouver, B.C. with Susan back in 2011, and I had recalled that we took Amtrak. Oh wait, it was someone else telling me they had taken Amtrak to Vancouver before—Teresa here at work, yesterday. It made me think of when I might have done the same: 2011 with Susan; and, I'm pretty sure, 1999 with Barbara.
So, I decided to use my
Vancouver Trips collection on Flickr to track the mode of transport there and back, for all of the now-twelve trips I have taken there. Two of them were by train; the rest by car. While I was at it, I also noted what hotel or (in the early days) hostel I had stayed in.
But the I thought, what the hell, I'll do the same with
trips to Victoria—of which, after December this year, I'll have taken eight. And, after December, I'll have gotten there only by boat, on the Victoria Clipper, twice. All the others have been a combo of car and ferry, the first three trips via the Black Ball Ferry from Port Angeles; two others via BC Ferries from Vancouver; and once as a day excursion from a Princes Cruise ship.

Anyway. That sucked up a good portion of the evening. Then, we started watching a new show on Max, a series that's something like eight episodes into what will be a 15-episode season:
The Pitt. I keep hearing good things about it. It stars Noah Wyle, among a bunch of others, and I only discovered when we started watching that each episode is an hour, in sequence, of a single shift working at a Pittsburgh ER. Being shot in real time, it's quite impressively done. We only watched the pilot so far, but in stark contrast to
The Comeback, I'm pretty eager to keep watching. I liked it a lot, the predictable lot of pretty graphic injuries and surgeries notwithstanding.
