b 4.0

Back in the (FL) day I used to skate for two hours each Sunday at JP Igloo in Ellenton. This Sunday we checked out The Rink in Allentown, whose name is is remarkably similar. The skating was different - we went to 13 private lessons and public skating broke out - but it was so nice to be back on skates, working some different muscles.

Today's highlight, since we missed Saint Patrick's Day and neither of our two friends with birthdays were close enough to eat cake, was Top Gear's trek across previously un-crossed portions of Botswana. I am not a 'make it a date' kind of TV watcher with the exception of The West Wing...sigh... but this program is totally worth scheduling your life around. We also went on a walk and noticed many new things around the neighborhood, including the first budding flowers under a bush down the hill. Then we continued to enjoy the fruits of last night's labors: fully-wired, 5.1 channel surround sound. Jenelle took the inside, I climbed into the knee wall, and we wrestled with some conduit (repurposed vacuum cleaner hose) for longer than anyone could have ever imagined but when all was said and done we popped in All the Road Running and heard a new guitar riff in the midst of "I Dug Up a Diamond."
