Lovely Lazy Weekend

My computer died.  Without warning.  Dead.  It was eight years old.  That almost qualifies it for ancient artifact status in the laptop world.  A new one is on its way but until it arrives I'm stuck with semi-limited internet and using my work computer for blog posts.

I spent a few weekends ago in Las Vegas with Gil.  He was a wonderful host.  Contrary to our current modus operandi, we didn't hike.  We didn't really adventure.  The most exciting thing that happened, the only time my heart rate got a little elevated, was when Gil almost got his finger stuck in the neck of a bottle when we were out in public.

The past two months I have spent more nights in a tent than in my own apartment, more hours on trail than I care to compute, and logged a lot of miles (as my tired legs can attest).  I wanted a lazy weekend and that's what I got.

I got a tour of Gil's place of employment which was most enjoyable and fascinating.  We watched more movies in one weekend than I usually watch in six months.  (Granted, most were on as background noise.)  We worked a puzzle.  Gil cooked good food.  He made a gumbo that was so good I wanted to stay all week to eat the left overs until it was gone.

Our puzzle and a bowl of gumbo.  It was a perfect weekend.
