Standard-length Weekend

Still a little frustrated with people calling it a long weekend when I'm still in the office monday.

Saturday got out hiking with Rennie, Leiding and his friend. Did Lady Mac. It was farther than I expected to get to the incomplete tea house. We went a bit farther, but I think we took a wrong turn and the way was getting pretty sucky and would suck more on the way down. Combined with it being Leiding's friend's first time in the mountains and the rest of us not getting out often this season, we decided it would be smart to turn back. Found a pretty new ipod on the ground though, not really sure what to do with that, cause there was nothing marking whose it was (all we knew is that the owner is from Mountain time zone), and likely noone's going up to search for it, and if we leave it someone else is going to pick it up instead. So we took it down, left a note at the trailhead, otherwise i guess someone has a new ipod (i think rennie ended up with it, not sure it he even wants it). I dunno, do something noble like sell it on ebay and donate the money? Anyways, it was nice to get out there. Actually feel a bit sore after this one, but thankfully no ankle pain this time! (was wearing old boots)

Sunday after the usual temple and dragonboat practices, tried to make some food for Shannon's potluck. Still sufficiently hate cooking and am bad enough to end up pissed off and having nothing to bring and just go buy something instead. But it was still really fun to go hang out with a few dragonboat people and whoever else was there for the evening. Jokes about the BBQ side-burner, powdered donuts, how white I am, what we'll wear as steerspeople on race day, etc.
