This may be perfectly obvious, but… assembling a mental picture of the roads in a new town, day by day connecting different stretches of recognizable terrain together into a larger map, uses the same mental muscles used in adventure games like Myst. I’ve linked up more of my immediate surroundings today. I may go to a coffee place tomorrow, now that I really know where it is. Weather is partly sunny and 65 degrees…

I’ve been buying myself a good lunch from the nearest health/whole foods store each day, which I figure I must do to keep up strength and a good attitude, even if it may be cheaper not to.
