sunday of the beautiful kind

this blog is fast becoming a journal and that must fast come to a stop - a function of the time on my hands these days and an incessant desire to play pollyanna's game.

sunday was beautiful, though. it was a bright sunny day, when i woke up. met ps at starbucks to put together the rounds for dumb-c. efficiency was at its best, and we finished well in time. dumb-c itself went well, though i didn't get a chance to run through all the rounds. the best part of it was that we sat and played out in the sun, and i got to take a lot of pictures in the natural light. the bad part was that the sun was directly overhead and the shadows were less than perfect. but the good part - the abundant natural light. and the warmth.

after, r & i went to cafe borrone for some not-so-stud ice mocha but some uber-stud pictures. for once, he let me click limitlessly, and i reached the high point of my existence in many, many days. the shadows, the reflections, the lighting were all perfect. 5pm. couldn't ask for more.

the starbucks cd was playing in my car and the weather was perfect, so we went for a ride to the end of the world... all the way down on junipero serra, and then all the way into the woods. it might have been portola valley, but i'm not sure.

the drive back was just as pleasant, and memorable. we stopped by to see n/g/s next door. s was sleeping, unfortunately, so no photo-op. it was time then to go for b's graduation party. the party went well, and it was nice to see everyone together, for perhaps the last time for many many months (for me).

the day was something else. any day is beautiful that is filled with sunshine, fresh air, games, good photos, good music, and the love of friends. thank you, god.
