Did you know that people get up early on Saturdays, leave their homes, and go and do<\/em> things?<\/p>\n

No, neither did I.<\/p>\n

But this morning we were hoping our mechanic could do a quick oil change on the car and look at our non-working A\/C before we head north 8 hours on Wednesday in 99 degree heat. Unfortunately either the person Rudi talked to on the phone Thursday was confused or they ended up being short mechanics because there were 30 cars ahead of me when I arrived at the shop at 8:10 this morning. So, no go. We’ll probably track down a Jiffy Lube or some such thing out in Virginia this week instead.<\/p>\n

But when I came home, since the bike was already out of the Burrow and so was I, we decided to take a quick spin out along the river. 8.5 miles, half a bagel and an orange juice later, we’re back and it’s not even 10:30!<\/p>\n

Now I’m going to jump into the shower before I head over to Western Market to see what wonders they can offer me. I’m hoping to find Christmas presents that I can squirrel away. It’s a possibility, right?<\/p>\n

Other than that, we’re going to do some tidying this weekend and maybe drive out to the Maryland shore tomorrow to catch up with Karen and Michael who are heading down here on vacation. Laundry and other such nonsense must also be taken care of so we have clean clothes to wear to the theater<\/a> and to Falcon Ridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
