So far today:
- rowed 10 km including 4 5-minute pieces at high
rates
- took my truck in to fix the one little bit they missed earlier in
the week
- renewed our boat permits for next year
- meandered around
the mall -- bought a lipstick and foundation at Origins, 2 CDs at B&N, and some
beading stuff. Tried to figure out how to make a rowing bear for Rudder, but
unfortunately Build-A-Bear doesn't really have much in the way of oars or spandex
unis. Though the saleswoman did tell me about an ASU rower's mother who sewed her
own bear uni. I bought chocolate at Godiva instead (we're not really supposed to
be giving each other gifts this year, the Antarctica trip being the big
one.
- went to the doctors' to have my clean bill of health certified for
the same trip. Given that medevacs from there are a pretty big deal, I can see the
point of requiring that.
Unfortunately, I forgot to get a card for
Rudder. Drat.
Don't tell anyone, but one of the CDs was John Denver.
Been meaning to get one of those for years. I really wish there were one with the
setting of John Gillespie Magee's High Flight he once did for a TV special
on NASA, but I don't think that was ever recorded. The other one was Violent
Femmes, which always reminds me of freshman year. I put the two of those on the
counter to pay and said, "Don't laugh."
