Two weeks ago we went to a shop we hadn’t been to in four years. But thanks to Dragonfly’s most generous Chinook Book coupon offer – a $10 gift certificate for $5.00 – we’re annual customers here. Dragonfly is one of our favorites for its quirky decor, commitment to building community, and commitment to the environment. We did notice, however, that Dragonfly this past year added a new large table, probably to handle larger groups, which made sense; however, we felt its spartan look was out of character with the intriguing chandeliers, windows, and paintings that we love.

With excited-about-halloween O joining us today, we talked costumes and fish names, as well as City planning and density proposals, the environment, the election, and AARP’s radical article on attaining more rewarding elder years via a regimen that includes 4 days of strenuous aerobics & 2 of strength training each week, for the rest of our lives; a diet that cuts out “crap” and “dead” foods,” while eating lots (50% of total) of vegetables and fruit; lots of socializing and connecting with others; and remaining in long-term relationships if at all possible.
