Celebrating before I leave sounds a great idea because I may be too tired to celebrate when I get back. Right now I'm working out, bicycling on machines and ready to celebrate. I had lunch today with RC, a good friend who loves books and we talked about what we're reading, have read, and are about to read. We also enthused about "Makers,' the PBS documentary on the Feminist Movement which started in the 1960s and how much it influenced our lives all those years ago.
I began the day with an hour's walk with Sammy the Snow-loving beagle, and then went to the Y for a 20-minute warm-up bike ride, and an hour's exercising with Gerry the Total Trainer. Last week he assured me my legs would be like wet noodles after our session, but they were only mildly limp - so I think I can do this. We have one more session on Friday - what will he think of next?
This evening, good friends from the Manor where I'm living invited me out to Happy Hour at my favorite restaurant, Brasserie 1010 on Walnut Street. We toasted the trip with my Proseca, red wine and a cocktail. I had a bowl of delicious mussels in a white wine sauce, and the elegant tiny French fries with a garlic dip sauce. Lots of good conversation about where we were all going in the next months (Florida, Majorca, France) and how B was playing her monthly game of poker tomorrow, and loved to play, and we agreed the gambling casinos all over Colorado which were packed with people didn't interest us. Did the revenues go to Open Space?
We came back in the cold star-filled evening under a black velvet sky and sat and talked in the living room downstairs before taking the elevator up. A lovely day.
