After, I used an online keyboard to figure out the notes of the song that was used
on Stephen Colbert to introduce Tom Hanks.  I had hummed it to Google Assistant earlier
and it couldn't find anything, but I tried again and it's the David Bowie song that has
the verse "Ground Control to Major Tom", so that makes sense when introducing another Tom.

-- 12:30p  Pickup EJB for lunch but first took a look at his room.
He has a good-sized closet but he has some boxes near the foot of the bed
that he puts in the outside hall when they come for bi-weekly cleaning.
I asked why he doesn't put them in the closet and he said it's because
[philosophically] you can't put everything in the closet.  He was not able 
to explain that.

--   1:08p  Arrive for lunch @5th Ave Sushi.
Ed has never had sushi before.  We split a california roll and an order of gyoza.
After, I asked if he'd like to go somewhere else for something else but he decided
that he'd have a whole california roll, and I got an Alaskan roll.
He cut up each piece with his fork, so it was kind of messy.

~~  He told me that, although he's paying for breakfast and dinner at his residence,
he only ate there one day and has been going out for lunch and dinner. since  He explained
that they accepted so many people from Elison that they are required to eat in a group
and he doesn't want to do that.  So, he could have stayed at Elison without food service
and it would be cheaper.  He doesn't seem to care about whatever the situation is
because he's sure he's going to be forced to move again when the 6-mo lease is up on April 1.

I parked on the 5th level of a nearby parking structure.  The view was partially obstructed
by an office building but I didn't expect comet to be there (but I could be wrong).
Eventually, I saw a couple stars but then one started moving.  There were a series of planes
coming from that direction -- heading to O'Hare, I assume.  But one remained motionles
and I suspect it was Venus.  Then I saw something with a tail, but I saw another one aimed
in a different direction and concluded they were contrails.  Later, I saw another candidate
and, after a bit, it was clearly a contrail, I could see the red and green lights.
So, I gave up.

Saturn, which was near the moon, but, using my binoculars, I was unable to see rings.
I could probably see Sirius, straight up, and I might have seen Altair to the south.

reading maps.  I gave him directions to one place but he still got lost, so I had him follow me
and then he got lost again.  He now had a 2nd package and we had already gone past it.
He really needs to find a different kind of job.

I had thought he was moving on Oct 1, but it turned out that he moved today.
It seems that the social worker hired a moving company and moved 3 people today,
so Ed says he spent a lot of time just standing around in an empty room.
Despite that, he said he didn't have any food until dinner because he didn't have time to eat.
He's on the 4th floor, facing north.
