+ finishing a bunch of chores before 2 pm
+ realizing that it was a warm melty day, perfect for walks along the river
+ getting distracted by the Fine Arts Museum. Snowy Monet and vibrant Chihulys. And one of these days I will remember that I want to get my hands on a book about Sisley.
+ following the river 2 miles straight north, to where the riverside path ended, and being followed by a juvenile hawk for about a half mile of that (kee! kee!)
- the riverside path ended suddenly
+ successfully clambering up 12 feet or so of steep riverbank makes me feel disproportionately clever
+ (besides, it isn't a proper walk if you don't get a bit muddy)
+ accidentally walking past the coffeehouse that I can never find if I'm actually looking
+ hot chocolate with a shot of peppermint syrup, and a scone with scads of blueberries in it
+ walking home through the other park
- landscape architect's idea of a park doesn't quite measure up to, say, Frederick Law Olmsted's
+ idea of this park still included trees and a creek
+ hot showers are even better when you've earned them first
+ gyros
+ hanging out all night with friends, making D&D characters, drinking beer, listening to someone play the guitar, and being silly
