Rhapsodies

I’m beginning to think it’s finally safe to enjoy he good weather.  The last few times I found myself enjoying nice May and June days what followed were more weeks of rain and cool weather. After this happens a few times one finds themselves falling back into traditional Northwest superstitions and start saying things like “Summer? What is this thing called summer?” and to make matters worse you can’t really complain as you’re very much aware of how hot it is in the rest of the country.

But since the fourth it’s been really nice and warm and I’m fairly certain I can look forward to to more good weather to come. The question now is what do I do with it?For the most part I like to keep regular office hours. But even then I frequently find myself playing fast and loose with them working late or treating the weekend like just another day in the office whenever I’m late on a deadline. However sometimes I’ll lock myself in here no matter what. And because of this I’ve been trying to make my weekends sacred.

This hasn’t been as easy as one would think. Usually I find myself at a loss of what to do and frequently the a lot of the routine things seem almost as bad as staying home.

Take yesterday for example. I spent the morning helping with University Friend’s Meeting’s Light lunch. After that I went to the Fremont Sunday Market. After that I considered going to the Arboretum but ended up window shopping at the University Village… Pretty much a variation of what I’ve been doing every Sunday for months.

I’ve really got to start looking at events calendars because I’m afraid I’m getting into a rut.
