I may have been slightly too enthusiastic about this project. I dashed through my work for the morning and then hopped a bus up to Fremont with a plan to see four properties. The bus got me there much faster than I’d expected it to. So much faster that I was awkwardly early for the open of the first property. I was forced to pass some time browsing the cookbooks at the Book Larder. I’m feeling generous, so I’m not counting the expenses involved in that diversion against the project. This time.
The weather was pretty pleasant, and I was armed with a thermos of tea which I sipped quite contently while wending my way from one property to the next. It was definitely a bit slower than if I’d driven from property to property, but as anybody who’s tried to park in Fremont can attest, I saved a bundle of time by not having to park. Probably a net loss for time by the clock, but definitely a huge gain in terms of avoiding frustration.
All told, it was an excellent and very encouraging start to the project. I’m excited to see how next week goes.
