quiet blah kind of day

We finally had weather dry enough for me to try out the inline skates which I bought the day after Christmas. T was working outdoors and said (with his voice dripping amusement) that he felt like he should be videotaping my efforts. I said something to the effect of, "only if you have a death wish." I did manage to get the hang of it, with only one fall (in which the elbow pads paid for themselves by sparing me an ER visit for a cracked humerus, I think). Seems like it could be a decent way to get in better shape if I don't kill myself at it.


I had a sort of unsatisfying day overall. I wanted to GO, wanted to go to the book store and then drive across the valley to the coast, and really enjoy the beautiful clear weather, but T wanted to spend most of the day at home. To me, nice weather after a long wet spell means recreation and going somewhere (since I have, of course, just been spending the entire spell of wet weather indoors by the fire). To him, nice weather means that he finally has time to work on his automotive projects. Bummer.
