HAPPY THINGS:
1. Fascination with miniatures (after watching the horror film, Hereditary) has led me to watch CSI Las Vegas, Season 7, which includes a story arc of the Miniature Killer.
2. Catching up on sleep - hard to do with our summer daylight hours schedule
3. Lovely evening walk in San Francisco downtown on a warm night - The Salesforce building top floors with its animated light art show was in action. FYI: Salesforce is now the tallest building in the city.

IN preparation for a Korea reading binge.
Books Inc. at Opera Plaza hosted a reading and Q&A with David Sedaris for the release of Calypso (Amazon | Goodreads). I had to go to the latest David book release as he is my favorite humorist. It is my fourth time to go to a David event. He does not take to photos. So, this book photo is from the dinner after the event at Max's Opera Cafe.
