colder today but still very pleasant. the weather has been really spectacular lately. no humidity. tons of sun. comfortable temperature. breezes. few bugs.

this morning the chill and the dampness of the air reminded me of the play ground at Hilton Elementary. It was always a little breezy, cool, and damp there because it was so close to the James.

breakfast

bagel w/ butter
yogurt
banana
oj
coffee
iced tea

we watched the news about the volcano (and rvs and so on) on Today this morning. then we watched part of Shakespeare in Love.

we didn't really feel like doing chores around the house today and we hadn't been to the mall in a long time so we decided to go to fair oaks.

lunch

chicken club sandwich
fries
iced tea

at McDonalds on the way to the mall.

i haven't been getting nearly enough exercise so we decided we'd walk the mall. we'd make a circuit of the 1st floor. take a break for a drink. then make a circuit of the 2nd floor.

we used to go to fair oaks all the time. it is really surprising to see all of the stores that have closed. very surprised to see that the Unos has closed. People's Pottery and Christian Bernard are also gone. the Apple store was overflowing. it was kind of funny. it used to be that you couldn't get near the iPhones. now you can play with an iPhone with no problem but you can't get near the iPad.

i found a hooded sweatshirt at the foot locker for 99 cents. i had to buy it. couldn't pass it up.

snack

cafe mocha
lemon pound cake (half)

at the Corner Bakery. pound cake was very good. mocha was ok.

dinner

grilled cheese (2)
tomato soup
iced tea
chips

dessert

banana
