(I’ve got to get into that building more before the remodel. I worked there briefly in December 2000 as a temp, stuffing envelopes. Also, not that you’d know it, but the first scene from my novel-in-progress The Idiot Plot opens in a bathroom I pictured looking very much like the Meier & Frank 10th-floor men’s room. That men’s room won’t be there soon. I want to see it again before it isn’t there!)
