Relaxing Memorial Day

Monday was a return to my post-Morningstar and pre-sort-of-working life. I got up relatively early and headed down to Starbucks to get coffee and read the paper......and watch people go by. The weather was very nice and the tables outside were partially in the sun and partially in the shade. I nimbly moved between the two and straddled them as necessary to secure the right temperature.

A nice trip to the grocery store followed where I purchased my grilling grub for the rest of the day. For lunch I opted for Italian sausage. Then I took a long walk around the neighborhood.

Dinner was a strip steak and a portobello mushroom marinated in olive oil and balsamic vinegar with crumbled feta cheese. I ate it with a glass of pinot noir on the back porch in my quiet retreat. It was very nice.

Sounds like a perfect, quiet day. We didn't have a long weekend in Singapore, but I wish I did since I played almost six hours on Sunday. You'll read about it on www.singaporeblawg.com...

I was so sore, and I hadn't been that sore in a really long time.

Sounds like a very peaceful day. Sometimes it's nice to just be by yourself.

Good to see that you've mastered the reptilian art of moving between and sun and shade to maintain perfect body temperature.

Fuku-dome, Fuku-dome!! The Dodgers should have never pulled Kuroda.
I can only assume you used your reptilian art of moving from the back porch to the ball game at some point during the evening.
