Well, a brisk weekend all in all. Saturday was pretty straightforward - breakfast at the Hickory Pit, then over to Cupertino Square to see "American Hustle", an outstanding movie. From there, lunch at TGIF, then off to the park for a two mile plus walk on a beautiful afternoon. Home for the evening, a call with TR, an early night curled in bed and a phone call from my friend Tyrone.
Seems that Tyrone laid his bike down on the freeway last week, catching his foot under the bike, bruising it badly - fortunately, it looks like no breakage. He actually rode the bike for a couple of days and then put it in the shop for repairs - and the parts were late. He was seeking a ride up to Foster City to go to his second job on Sunday. I obliged and I will also take him up to work tomorrow as well - he's hoping he gets his bike out of the shop tomorrow, if the parts have arrived.
So, today was running Tyrone up to Foster City, then breakfast at the Classic Diner in Fremont with Tony, then home to watch a spot of TV and take a nap, then back up to Foster City, then home once more. Whew. Upon returning home I discovered that my lights strung on the patio had given up the ghost. Parts of the string were out for no apparent reason. So, a quick dash out to OSH for a new string of lights (this time I went for the blue icicles), then home and restring them all. Exchanged some text with TR, then a call with Brandy, and now, in the waning moments of the night, going to call my nephew. Tomorrow is going to be a brisk day as well.

Prisoners Is A Good Movie
It has been an enjoyable weekend and I am wrapping it up tonight watching the Emmy Awards, which is always pleasurable. I saw a very good movie today, which has left me in sort of a post-good-movie bliss state. The movie was the new Jake Gyllenhall, Trevor Howard, and Hugh Jackman, with Maria Bello and Alfie Woodard - Prisoners. As you would expect with a cast like that, it was a very good movie. I highly recommend it and it has been a while since I've said that.
Let's see what else happened this weekend. I had a day on Thursday - I had this mood where I was just tired of doing the same old, same old each day and came to the conclusion that I really need to make a conscious effort to change things up. So, that was sort of my theme through the weekend. I decided that I would do the things I enjoyed (like breakfast at the Hickory Pit, like a good movie) but that I wouldn't do the things that were not satisfying to me. As a result, I had an enjoyable weekend.
Changing deeply engrained habits is often very difficult. It is going to require an almost constant level of effort, but that may be what I need as I move forward into the fall. If I had to define and describe my overall mood lately it has been a sense that I am not living life to the its full capacity - that I am stuck in a deep and comfortable rut.
It is actually kind of a good feeling. I really haven't felt like this for a while. It is a sense that I am in a position to seek further self-exploration. I kind of like it.
Meanwhile, TR is traveling for work, so it will be a sweet touch and go through the week. So, it is with her in my thoughts that I am going to call it a night here and settle in to some serious Emmy watching.
