After letting Lucky out, his being fed and returned to the bedroom, I returned to the kitchen planning to put on my shoes and take a morning walk. Sitting with my back to the entry, I heard a hallway door open, and a moment later somebody walked in and said "good morning". It was a girl's voice. For a moment I assumed Tommy had a guest and they were bold and unwilling to climb out the window, which I'd respect. I turned to see Lauren there. Apparently Tommy had gone to Sacramento the day before, they met up and he brought her back down. She said he said we were depressed about Scottie, which is true, but not so much so to necessitate her coming down given that she'll be returning Wednesday. Even so, it was a wonderful heartwarming surprise and way to start the day. We got Jen up and went to Starbucks. Tommy was doing an MCAT test and remains dramatically resigned to be standoffish. We had some breakfast and played cards. I swapped the Chromebook I'd bought with one she's having issues with. We dropped her at the train and returned home. I went solo tonight to see "Greed" at the Stanford and it was simply amazing. It opened a door of awareness and appreciation for the silent era films that I'd never really embraced beforehand. It was epic, sweeping, and wonderfully filmed, and the 2.5hr accompaniment by the organist received a standing ovation at the end. What an experience!
