It rained most of the day, was also not very warm, plus a few thunder storms. So we spent the day in the hot tub. Drinking wine, playing our version of underwater table tennis.

When the two elves went for a bicycle ride this morning it was 42 degrees. So Kathy Too and I had several layers of tops and bottoms on and where still feeling the chill. However we saw two women and a man out running. The women where wearing short running shorts and sports bras. The man was in short split leg running shorts, thats all he was even bare footed. When we passed the Sunday Farmer's Market we saw a good number of people cycling home with groceries, wearing tank tops, shorts and sandals.

5. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

If you ever feel bad about yourself, just remember this one time in my english class, we were writing horror stories and one of the girls wrote "it was Friday the 13th, the night before Halloween" for her opening sentence.
