It was a slow day today, but that was nice, especially since it’s the last weekend before returning to work. We lazed around for much of the day today, although we did manage to get in some Wii playing early this afternoon. I did some chores at home, and started reading Walter Isaacson’s Einstein. I was looking for something to read and Kelly was watching the movie IQ, which reminded me that I had the book and I hadn’t read it yet.
Spoke to Rich today, the first time I’ve had an extended conversation with him since he got back from Iraq. He sounds good. He is in Upland right now with Tricia and the kids, and he will be there until November 1st, when he heads back to Texas.
There was a pleasant breeze today and I had the screen door and front windows open to enjoy it. As the breeze picked up, this created a wind tunnel and the house became a virtual disaster with paper flying about here and there, and a clock falling off the counter. Much to my dismay, I had to close the screen door.
Sarah and Jim came over this evening and we headed to Alexandria (Old Town) for dinner. We ate at a tiny place called Trattoria Da Franco and it was actually very good. I had an excellent linguini al pesto dish, along with some wine. It was a small place and we were placed at a small table, but I enjoyed the atmosphere of it. Afterward, we went back to the house and the four of us played Wii for a few hours.
