Science and Sofas

Yesterday we met up with Maxine in Manhattan. We needed to find a new sofa for Linda's mom so that we can have a place for her new home aide to sleep. Of course first we had to have brunch at Linda and Ma ie's favorite spot, Bubby's.  While waiting, we hung out on the bench and showed off my Science March T-shirt.  We noticed a nearby store had put out a bowl of bisquits for passing pooches, but a different sort of New Yorker was sampling the wares. We also watched as teams of kids checked into a Pokemon stop on a scavenger hunt (next stop was the Ghostbusters firehouse 2 blocks away). 

Next stop was a search of our own. The new sofa had to be small enough to fit through a narrow NYC apt. door, comfortable and easy enough to sleep on every night, and deliverable within 2 weeks. Not an easy task, but our salesperson, Antwane at Room and Board was able to help us accomplish it (I was forced to lie down on the job and check out the various options

We also made the acquaintance of a King Charles Cavalier spaniel testing out a chaise long. We were surprised at first that the pup was welcome in the store. But according to his human companion, he had already sold two sofas and was being courted to help out at the store in the future.
