Actually had a good day. After a dull start to the day I skipped out of work around 1, cruised up to the high country, took a baptismal spring dunk in a snow-melt stream, napped on some granite slabs, climbed some trees, pulled 80 down the Mile blaring the previously posted song back to the lake to read for and hour and a half, then home, a nice walk with the dog, a tasty dinner with the folks, a few beers later and I’m feeling a little more than half bad. Unfortunately it’s only Tuesday. Putting in my intent to resign tomorrow. Should be a relief come this time next month.
