evening thoughts

[da]

quingawaga's hair looks good as blonde, I'm glad to report. (seeing it in dusk, through a chainlink fence).

Rover discovered she can climb under the fence, in an attempt to say hi more easily. She then proceeded to wind her leash around both quingawaga and mccorpsecorpse while being cute and waggy. Sigh.

I biked an hour each day yesterday and today. Felt much much better than a few weeks ago when my bike had a flat and I drove to work all week. 's funny how having a bit of energy to bike will lead to having more energy after I bike. Feels good. I need more exercize; I'm thinking of starting up swimming again, but the university pool is closed all summer for repairs. So that means I'm back to the swimplex, which isn't very convenient for work hours. Maybe I'll get up early. Or, maybe pigs will evolve wings.

This weekend looks like: errands and housework tomorrow; Quaker business meeting on Sunday, followed by houseguests I'm really looking forward to- Sadelle and Ann from Vermont. It's totally chance that I became friends with Sadelle. We both volunteered to maintain a website (for our queer Quaker organization) and gradually expanded from there. She and Ann are doing wonderful organizing work in Bennington- they've apparently got the largest Gay/Straight Students organization in the state. Vermont's a weird mix of liberal/conservative, and I don't think any city can comfortably just assume socially liberal values will be there for them. Though things look good right now. So maybe I'm being too pessimistic.

Anyway, they're in Toronto this weekend for the 9icb conference, and I get to see 'em when they're done.

...I was realizing last night while talking with dan that I've not visited Toronto since last winter, before the new year. I've been to London, New York, and the Bay area instead. And in two weeks I'll be in Chicago. I sorta miss Toronto.

Hm, I've never actually been. I may give it a try, if I can manage to leave work in time. But it looks like a reasonable distance to bike...
