while i'm still awake: von is coming back to cambridge for the weekend on october 27th. google is sending him to a conference. he wants us to go to evoo for this menu to celebrate his homecoming, i object on the two compelling grounds of distance and insolvency. but after days of cup soup and maggimee i want more than anything to go out to a restaurant and have a fancy meal. what about craigie street bistro, i ask him. it's much nearer to walk to, and slightly less expensive. he says it is evoo or nothing, and we're walking (it's good for your back) and he denies he's yi jin huan xiang-ing (returning to one's village opulently clad.) we shall see when the time comes.
