Out for a Walk

This is very unusual for me: I'm feeling an intense urge to get out for a walk on one of the woodland trails near my home. The weather is pleasantly cool today, which is good.

Over the past couple of days I've been noticing that some of the healthier behaviors I've been working hard to estabish finally seem to be sinking in. I'm drinking 8+ glasses of water a day on a consistent basis, taking my vitamins, avoiding fast food -- or buying minimal portions when I do go, and exercising more frequently. Yesterday I met kateri_thinks for lunch, and instead of having the to-die-for pasta alfredo with chunks of Dungeness crab, I had a vegetarian sandwich.

I'm going to do my spiritual practices, then hit the trail.

Going to the Theater

One of the things Wolfling and I have in common is an affection for live theater -- and she has a surprising interest in Shakespeare.

Next Wednesday we're going to a matinee performance of Othello at the Intiman. I don't think she knows the story, so we'll probably watch the Lawrence Fishburn / Kenneth Branagh movie first.

October 4th, we're going to see Wicked!
I wasn't sure I could justify the tickets, due to my unemployment, but the more I saw the signs, the more I wanted to go -- and Wolfling really wanted to go as well. My mom and aunt will be joining us.

I keep forgetting that Wolfling really does enjoy theater, and our region has a lot of opportunities for play-going. We need to spend more time doing that together.
