First "official" packing day
Posted on Jan 30, 2007
It started off with breakfast at Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe, one of my favorite places--but on the weekends it's terminally hip and you can't get a good seat or service, and you're in a huge line waiting for that substandard experience. Tuesday mornings at Rudy's, however, are glorious. Seat yourself. Get plenty of attention. Finish the newspaper. Saunter out. Life is good.A trip to goodwill to drop off some stuff. A quick check in at North Face, REI, and Marmot Mountain Works to check out winter coats. I'm sorry, I don't care what is in fashion, I will freeze to death before I will wear a pink or lavender winter coat. Especially one with little birdies embroidered on the sleeve. Came home, went on-line, found a -15 degree F. parka fit for Cross-country skiing (which I will most definitely be doing) in the highly respectable (and sensible for the season) color of black. It's on it's way. The Greenland Jacket from North Face. Reviews give me reason to believe I'll be very happy with it. Plus, it's got an iPod pocket.
Oh, the packing. Yes, we packed. And we are still packing. But you see, now we are on our own schedule. It matters not that we begin at 1pm and finish up around 9. And beer-thirty is any darn time we say it is.
