just another tuesday

Things that happened:
lunch at Wahoo's with Bonnie & Sara, accompanied by boy-from-church sightings and followed by a Leonidas hot chocolate run.
after work, creative idea time with Kat + an Albright Sportsmen baseball game. The big adventures came after the game was over, though. The idea to simply go for a late-night run on the beach turned into something a little more.

22:47 - We parked south of the pier and went running north, eventually scaling a small part of a building to hide our fleeces in the wall molding.
23:01 - Climbed over a wall and into a private resort-y place, where we found a small treasure trove of kids' toys and sandcastle-building tools. We borrowed some and...
23:41 - ...built a castle compound, Anenome Heights, close to the water.
23:56 - Collected our fleeces and began running south.
00:17 - Made a stop at the rings & ropes. I taught Kat how to climb a rope, and she had her first success (huzzah!); she reciprocated the gesture by teaching me how to get across the rings.
00:51 - We strip down and...run into the ocean. The water is not ridiculously cold once you're in it, and the swim was pretty exhilerating. Getting out of the water and back into the wind was a little less enjoyable.
01:22 - Back at Mazdatron, we towel off a bit. I curl up in what shredded paper remains after a week of driving around with it in the bed of my truck.
01:38 - To Norm's! We'd never been there. We dined on steak & eggs and BLTs with quiet dignity. Okay, quiet dignity is a lie. I was wearing my blanket and no shoes; Kat had her bathrobe on, and we drank 4 cups of hot chocolate. Much laughter was laughed.
02:57 - We returned home to #107, generally thrilled with life. Tuesdays are worth celebrating more often!
