unemployed walk

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Vancouver, 2002.03.08

With Ken and Heidi back off at work (poor buggers), Mr. Yoon and I went for a longish walk 'round the city. He hadn't seen False Creek yet, so we did that circuit, and headed down to the 3000 block of Broadway Street to a camera store there. I knew they had a lens I was interested in - though I have no money - but the dream died when they told me they wouldn't take trade-ins. All my old manual-focus lenses are mine forever, it seems.

We got back to civilisation and to Pepita's for dinner and drinks. Fine food, but ohhh, the tequila, sangria, and margaritas.
