Sunday
Rest and relaxation.
That’s what today was about.

I talked with Mom for a bit. That’s almost always a good thing. I think that I surprised her – she wasn’t expecting me to call. *shrug* But, she was glad that I did. She’s still trying to come out her sometime next month, but it’s a matter of timing: School reopens 01 August 04, so she has to squeeze a lot of summer into seven weeks. *sigh*

I spent a couple of hours at Borders, drawing and chatting. That was followed up by a trip to Provo (yes, I went to Provo voluntarily) for a barbecue. Allison, one of the Cheers waitstaff is moving out of state and this was her “going away” shindig. Food, playing with the kids, being catty… It was a good time. And we capped that off with a trip to Dairy Queen for tasty iced creams on the way home.

I watched the end of the Lakers-Pistons game. I guess that I’d prefer the Lakers to win the series, but since the Pacers are no longer in contention, I don’t really care who wins. But I like a good game. And tonight’s game was one.

I should do more packing/throwing away.

  • Eric Clapton. ‘Nuff said.

  • Given my… affinity… for brewed bean squeezins, I think that it’s funny that it’s taken me this long to learn about the history of coffee.
  • I came across a link on Backwash labeled: I better get in shape soon…
    The description text said:

    Nude Recreation Week is July 9-15, and “across North America naturists will mark the occasion by visiting their favorite clothing-optional beach, hot spring, resort or backyard hot tub.”

    I clicked the link and saw the “event” listing. Cat-like curiosity kicked in at that point and I looked at the other links under it. Odd. Curiously fascinating… but odd.

  • Yet another from Backwash: Very Candid Stick Figures
  • Sour Patch Kids!

And that’s a wrap.

Namaste.
