| Walked to work, lunch, and home. Beat the rain going to work, so I was able to finish my book.
I have an old "girl friend" coming into town tonight for a volleyball tournament for her daughter. "Girl friend" is almost the opposite of the kind of relationship we had. Hard to describe. She comes down from Beaverton with her family about once per year to pay penance for the way she treated me. I dread this time of year, because I know that the visit is going to happen at any time. She is one of those people who thinks that the past was everything and that getting older is the worst thing that could ever happen. Kind of like the song "Glory Days" by Bruce Springsteen. It pretty much bores me to tears. Maybe I'll go to the game late and leave early. |

| Ran with Annie at Bald Hill. My ipod didn't have any of my podcasts on it, so I just left it in the truck. It happened because during one of iTunes frequent annoying updates, it rebuilt the library while I was synching. |

| Ran to Bald Hill with Paula's ski poles. Finally met up with her at the loop above the bridge. We are bringing the poles to Nepal for the downhill portions and any rough areas. She also tried out one of her hiking skirts today. A little tight on the knees.
Fed one of the black bulls some nice green grass from my side of the fence. When I offered it, he came a running. The other black bull was a little shy, tossing his head when I presented him with the grass.
Another good day for birds. Had 5 evening grosbeaks on the feeder simultaneously. Saw a chipping sparrow. When we got back from the run, saw a hummingbird at the top of the pussy willow. It was too far away to see any colors. The violet green swallows are still checking out the bird house. I need to empty it of any old nests so that they will use it. |
