a raprieve

minnesota is now in full tilt on spring and i am loving it, yesterday was our first 70's degree day. the trees are just starting to bud and by later today or tomorrow there will be a beautiful green haze in the trees. so yesterday i took a half day off. got home at 12, by 12:30 i was biking around the lakes, down the greenway, to downtown, to the walker, then to the commuter bike trail which took me past hidden beach on ceder lake, then back to the other lakes back home. hour and a half was the total time, then there was some dinking around the house (laundry and the like) and then off to happy hour, few beers out side watching people, it was stellar, then off to uptown for a little walking around, i also bought the new modern painters.today i wish i was off again but i think i will take friday off (half day i think) to go to a fish fry with the folks in my home town, but i am not sure about that yet either. tonight i shall do taxes, and lay low
