Went out for dinner and drinks with my coworkers last night, and I’m definitely feeling it today - not really hungover, just very tired. Also, Chris and I are either both suffering from pretty severe allergies (which would be unusual for me) or we’re coming down with something nasty and throat-related. Oh boy!

The weather remains surprisingly nice for this late in May. It was cool and gray and drizzly today, and I just had a cup of coffee outside with the canine team at the checkpoint in front of my building (across the street from the Stock Exchange). I like to make friends with the bomb sniffing dogs - my favorite is a German wirehaired pointer named Gus. I miss having a dog, but I don’t want to get one as long as I’m in the city. It seems cruel to keep them cooped up in an apartment, and I don’t really need more to add to my schedule.
