So, I had a free weekend. Unless you count the fact that I had to go into work both days. That was easy, and I was a slacker this weekend and left early on several occasions, so it's all good.

Yesterday, I went for an "urban hike." A group of my girlfriends met at the NC Museum of Art and walked the Museum Park.   One of us had her fiftieth birthday yesterday, so as we sat in the Cloud Chamber we made her share her wisdom with us.  The most profound (to me) thing that she said was, "Life is hard enough on it's own.  Don't make it harder."  I shall try and incorporate that. 

Also, yesterday I went to the new REI.  Bought saddles and a fairing for my rack.  Both were used today when I went kayaking.  (Dear New England friends:  I went kayaking today and wore shorts.  Love ya!)  Then I ran errands.  Which was fun, but not when compared to the rug shampooing of Saturday.  Yay!  Clean carpet!

Oh, and Ri is using the open windows to call strays to the house.
