I went to DR to pick up some of the ice cream they had on sale, but they had only one flavor (cherry) remaining which is not at all my favorite; however, handsome سيف was there and seemed to be making attempts to greet me as he walked around. Rather than buy anything, I decided to investigate F’town instead and found the same brand and size of ice cream for the same price (three dollars a pint) there and was also afforded an opportunity to smile at and greet R’rigo who was walking around apparently putting orphaned items in their proper places. I ran into Jack F. right outside the supermarket and we spent quite a long time discussing co‐ops and the Bronx despite my melting purchases, and for a time we were joined by Junko and her boyfriend or husband (whose name I’ve already forgotten) as they discussed some friend of theirs named Sandra who had recently injured her foot. It was pretty evident Jack didn’t know how to introduce me to them (although it turns out I had met Junko before).
