this week i

met priyanka at the end of her fellowship to move a futon down philadelphia stairs.  we drove to fort lee, ordered burritos, finished four red bottles to celebrate.  all agreed neil gorsuch is not good looking, he's pretty.  i slept in saturday sunday, ate battered shrimp, bruschetta.  riya ran through the summer park fountains, no clean clothes, there she goes.  visits to ice cream on grand both before and after outback steakhouse parking lot hudson river (not bay) views.  bus driver declined dollars, mta has gone cashless, so i walked one hundred blocks before bethesda bus.
