I had a good day with Emmett.
Picked him up at noon and we headed to Clement Street, which is a heavily Asian neighborhood to eat at Ah Ma's Kitchen: [link]
Famous for their Kiln Chicken which was just as delicious as advertised.
Walked down Clement and picked up a slice of cake from Schubert's Bakery (source of all of Matilda's bday cakes growing up), and hitting the Pasta Supply Store where Emmett got a duck ragu and a pork sugo one.
Then we shot downtown, used a parking lot and waltzed into Macy's to buy him a new mattress for his new place (his belated bday present). Same place JZ and I got our new mattress.
There was only one salesperson on the floor so by the time he'd gotten to us, Emmett had sampled seven beds, narrowed it down to his top three, and made his choice. Which happened to be on a very big Black Friday discount.
Bought the mattress, got a free box spring, free delivery and were out of the parking garage in no time.
A very fun and productive three hours.
