The Slide Into The Evening

Well, judging from the lack of entries, I would say that it was a full week.  I logged five ten to twelve hour days in a row, so it was definitely full.  I made some progress at work on my projects and on my other responsibilities, so that was good.  I still have a ways to go, but that is to be expected.

Today was a pretty good day.  I stayed up late last night reading, but woke at about the normal time.  Breakfast at the Hickory Pit with Tony, then we drifted off and met Don to see "The Grand Budapest Hotel" by Wes Anderson at the CineArtes Theatre in Santana Row.  It was an excellent movie - whimsical, surreal, and funny.  I highly recommend it if you are into those sorts of films.

 

 

After the movie we have a nice lunch at Thea Mediterranean. I had a Greek Salad and a bowl of the soup of the day.  Excellent, as usual.  From there, we took a wandering walk through Santana Row, enjoying the scenery, enjoying the sun. Home afterwards for an easy nap, then up in the evening for a dinner of vegetable soup and an episode of Vikings.

 

 

 

I have to say that, all in all, it has been a nice day.  I am enjoying the slide into the evening.

Easing Into The Night

A wonderful conversation with TR last night, a good night sleep, a gentle morning and the day has been very good. I woke at close to my normal time with a wicked calf cramp that jolted me out of bed.  A quick turn through the shower, a cup of hot coffee, a cup of yogurt as a snack, then I settled in and alternated through the morning with a follow up conversation with TR and reading the morning paper (something I do not do often enough). 

Then, I met Tony at the Hickory Pit for breakfast, after which we caught "Stalingrad" at AMC 14.  Lunch at Hawg's Seafood in Campbell, then a stop at Target for mixed shopping before I headed home.  A lazy afternoon watching the bird tribe at the feed on the balcony, watching a bit of DVR - specifically "Vikings" first episode of season 2, then some more reading, and now watching one of my guilty pleasure - "Ancient Aliens".  In short, it has been a nice day - easily spent - relaxing and satisfying,

I am not sure I had any deep thoughts today.  Oh, one or two might have skipped across the surface of my brain, but they were pleasantly easy, all in all.  I am looking forward to just easing into the night, perhaps with a bit more of DVR, perhaps switching over to an entire night reading.
