Geekman's World: Flip-flop

It felt like fall when I left my house this morning. It was still cloudy and wet so I took my long jacket and my umbrella. The weather likes to choose Monday as the prime day to flip from rain to beautiful sun. By the time I got downtown it was sunny out. This would help explain why I left my umbrella on the bus when I disembarked on Howe street. So I rushed several blocks over to Burrard station. The bus was there, sans driver. So I pushed my hand between the plastic lips between the rear doors so I could push the bar and open the doors. Luckily, no drivers were around to lecture me. Somehow I doubt most of them care.

Yesterday I bought a mortar and pestle at London Drugs and used it to crush the thyme I'd collected from the garden and hung dry. It seems to be lemon thyme; the scent is unmistakable. To be honest, it was a fair bit of work for the amount of spice that was yielded. Oh well, it felt rewarding. There's still the rosemary and sage...

I'm taking a dance class with Angela this evening. Wish me luck. Actually, wish Angela luck, because it's her feet which will need the magical protection of your wishes.

I'm assuming you got your umbrella back... good thing, they are nice ones.
Everyone I have mentioned the dance class to so far has said something along the lines of "Jesse has good rhythm, he'll be fine." or "You're both musicians, don't worry about it."
I guess we just have to wait and see. :)

Oh man, that is some commitment to your umbrella! Otherwise it would have just ended up in the hands of someone like me: I have four of them, all of which were found on the bus or skytrain. None are particularly nice, but hey, free umbrella.

Jealous!! What kind of dance! this is exciting! It's not square dancing at the rock club, is it?

"Social dance". We started learning the foxtrot. There will be some waltzing involved later, apparently.

The foxtrot is awesome. I am loving it. I have not a clue what I have to learn next month though.... I think waltz though. I suppose waltz would be handy... although it doesn't look as awesome as foxtrot in my opinion.
