Sunday PB and I went on a Segway tour of Richmond. It was his birthday present. (Sidenote: I am now 2 for 2 on birthday presents this year and fear I have managed to set high expectations with both Randy and PB.)

I was nervous about riding the Segway. Apparently I even looked anxious. We went out to take the lesson given before the tour and the guide told me that women learn the Segway faster than men do. I did pick it up rather quickly, but so did PB. It is as easy as it looks! (Generally, that is a claim I don’t believe.) Well, maybe not for the family on the tour with us. The son and the mom both fell; the daughter got lightheaded and had to sit for a while. Our two-hour tour took nearly 3 hours. But, we did see everything we were supposed to. It was pretty awesome, actually.

This weekend we have a wedding on Saturday. Sunday is we’ll do some apartment hunting and getting loose ends tied up for my surgery.

Still to be figured out: How to keep Orion from sleeping on my shoulder when I fall asleep on the couch, which I foresee happening.
