Pinnacles of Pleasure

Shopping was the theme of our day. First we lunched at the Chaat Cafe: senior and student specials included chicken tandoori wraps, salad, and a coke, all for $5! It was too good a deal to pass up so Bob ordered it and I followed suit, but then we were greedy for the naan so we had a helping of that, too. It turned out to be too much. Our wraps were huge and delicious, the chicken succulent and juicy, but we couldn't finish them so we had to take one home.

Bob's next big pinnacle of pleasure was at Target, a store we rarely go to -- thus, we are naive in its ways. (It took us a while to realize that there was a second floor.) But the best realization was that there was an escalator designed to transport the shopping cart upstairs. We had fun watching our cart go up as if it were a person in its own right. It was fun watching it come down, too.

Mostly I took pleasure in Bob's pleasure. He is wonderfully delighted by small things.
