Book club and brunching

the empty chair was Bethany's seat

Despite Silas and me not having read a single word of the book club book this month and Bethany only having read about 2/3rds of it, Kate, Matt, and the rest of the group were kind enough to let us come and partake in a tasty, tasty brunch and hang out while everyone else discussed the book. The book, chosen by Kate, for this round of the club was The Yiddish Policemen's Union, by Michael Chabon.

Matt and Kate's house in Morningside is really nice and has a much homier feel than Bloomfield. Mature trees, setbacks, some brick structures, relatively well taken care of front yards, and whatnot make for a much friendlier neighborhood than Bloomfield feels sometimes. I get the same feeling in Brighton Heights at Becky and Tim's house.
