Phil had to get to work early but I stuck around, had breakfast with the kiddos and Mal and then ducked out right before they had to go. It was early and I wanted breakfast, so I went over to Yours Truly Mayfield. I was surprised, they completely redid the inside and it looked nothing like the old breakfast spot. It was empty and kinda odd feeling just eating there along in a place I had fond memories of. Next, killed some time on a walk around Shaker Lakes. It was cloudy and breezy. I really enjoyed that because I hadn't been up there in a long time. It hit me how much time we spent up there, still remember the first time I ran up there and it looked the same like nothing changed. I could have spent all day up there but wanted to get to campus to see what was going on. Campus vibe has changed too, it still does every time I come back. I got to bump into a lot of friends, hung out with Abhi and kicked some ideas around. Especially walking past Veale, still feels weird being there without the old people. Ended the day with a nice drive down Fairmount to Harvard Rd and the hotel complex. Tempted to get into Olive Garden but then again, its just a building and isn't the same without the times.
