Last night was one of those perfect spring evenings that just makes you glad to be alive. Paul and I walked the two miles or so down to Bell's, past nodding daffodils and early tulips. We sat in the biergarten and ate tasty sandwiches and drank powerful beer while watching the full moon rise. Then we got coffee and walked home -- and along the way we ran into a friend and walked most of the way home with her.
Saturday so far has been a representative catalogue of all my nerdy pastimes: I spent the morning building raised beds for my organic garden, then Paul and I drove up to Western where I [almost] bought some recycled-grease biodiesel and then got the chance to meet a guy who's been posting on this blog for about three years now (Hi, Atis! Paul totally remembers you and when I mentioned your name, he said "Oh! He's one smart dude.") and then I scanned a bunch of pages for the webcomic, moved the fish to the backyard, cleaned out their tank, and made yogurt.
Somewhere in there I also did the grocery shopping, finished the laundry and housecleaning, and because it's Pesach, Neighbor Nora brought us the leftover end of a challah loaf that is literally the most beautiful and the best-tasting bread I think I've ever eaten, holy cow. Baked with love by a hippie Jewish grandmother, no less.
So yeah. Fun! And probably a nap.
"Hi!" back atcha!
It really *was* a great weekend...lots of things to just be thankful for (including Bell's HopSlam...OMG that's good!).
Props on the webcomic launch. Between Clockwork Game and Freakangels, my webcomic pangs are now sated. I wait with bated breath until the Turk takes on Deep Blue...
(And, FWIW, rumors of any smartitude on my part may be greatly exaggerated.)
Cheers!
Baloney! You used the correct spelling of "bated"! Y'are too smart, so there!
