| | im currently reading "fast food nation," which is quite a change from my recent david sedaris quippy delight kick. i have a sneaky feeling ill think twice before ordering 99 cent double cheeseburgers again, which is not to say that i WONT order them, just that ill take longer at the drive-up window. ...maybe ill feel differently after ive read more than 7 pages, though. :P
yesterday, i enjoyed the great outdoors with several friends, old and new. we drove up to the summit of mt. diablo, located a bit north and a bit east of the san francisco bay. reaching the summit, we savored a fantastic picnic lunch (turkey, havarti, sprout sandwiches YUM), then picked a moderate trail and set forth. we hiked from the summit of mt. diablo to the nearest peak, absorbing an absolutely gorgeous view of the entire bay area along the way.
after our hike, we ventured back home and enjoyed the most delicious meal i've had in weeks -- swordfish, ribeye, asparagus, sweet corn, and strawberries. after our meal, we sat around the fireplace, clutching coffee mugs against our satisfied bellies, and listening to aaron read poetry. the entire day felt decadently rich, devoid of mindless technological distractions, and shared with delightful company.
this morning, ive officially sprung forward, along with (most) of the rest of the country, and im personally looking forward to a little warm weather. ...not that i really ought to be complaining from california, huh, mom? :)
