Sunday afternoon

Without getting into specifics, I can say I spent a few hours visiting with a friend who provided me a good bit of useful information for another book project I'll soon be working on. Conversation ranged all over; there were multiple digressions from the topic at hand, but it was a pleasant exchange—one that, frankly, ought to have happened sooner. 

When our meet-up ended, I took the subway to Oksu Station, originally thinking I'd grab the orange line from there back to my abode, but while I was walking through the station's hallways, I decided to just exit the station and walk the rest of the way home. It was a short jaunt of only 11 kilometers, but it allowed me to burn a few extra calories and freak out some people along the Han River when they saw me unmasked (no, no one actually Karened me, but I like to imagine the horror in the minds of people who automatically and hysterically assume that, if you're unmasked, you must be infected—for such people, their own stupidity punishes them by making them irrationally fearful). I also discovered a new creek I'd like to explore: the Joongnang-cheon, a tributary to the Han River that extends 20 km north from the Han.

I'll be talking about my book projects in more detail later; right now, I'm still in the information-gathering stage for this new project. Stay tuned for more.
