My favorite local Indian restaurant closed three months ago, a fact I learned as my entire department converged on it for my farewell lunch. My metaboss encouraged me to view it in a positive light: One less thing to miss when I leave. "Yeah," I said, "the last thing I loved in California. There's nothing here for me now."

Ha ha. But now there's this: Yesterday, Kepler's closed.

Ohferfucksake. Losing Wessex was bad enough.

I haven't been to the Bay Area since Feb 2004, and there's less and less to miss.

Maybe these businesses were just being proactively despondant about your leaving the state.

Kepler's?? Not so much point to having Cafe Barone, then, is there. I can hardly believe it.

Not much point to having Menlo Park, really.

It's really, you know, Kepler's mattered to me. I'd started to think the uncoolification of the mid-peninsula had reached its nadir and it was on its way back up, but now, well.
