The middle day of a three-day weekend doesn’t inspire much ambition in me. I recovered enough from yesterday’s yard work to get out and do more today, and there’s plenty more to do, but it was chilly and breezy out there, and I was already sneezing my head off without even leaving the house. So I stayed in where it was warm and cozy. I had my TV and my Kindle and no hint of any contact from the Boss. I like my full retreat Sundays.

This was also a good day for clearing out the refrigerator. I had half a bunch of fresh uncooked asparagus, so that’s what I had for lunch. I checked on line to make sure of how many minutes to steam it (four) and then ate it without any sauces or dips, just pure natural flavor. It came out brilliant, bright green, too. My favorite color.

I did have some fun on Twitter today. It’s probably just as well that I don’t have Internet access on working days, because I find writing 140-character mini-essays (I still have a hard time calling them “tweets”) a nice brain teaser. As you know, I can be verbose sometimes, and sometimes I’m verbose at the worst times, when I have the least to say. So the mental exercise is probably good for me. But mostly, it’s fun. If it weren’t fun I wouldn’t do it.

Still a little raggedy, but at least you can get to my front door now.



It’s not really a three-day weekend unless I take Monday off, too, and I just can’t do that. It’s not that anyone is forcing me to strap on the green visor on a holiday, just that I know how much work I have to get done in the coming week, and it will take more than four days to do it. I’m okay with that, as long as the next five days are followed by another weekend. Besides, even though I’ll be working, that doesn’t mean I won’t sleep in a little later than on a normal Monday.

Stuff

Mariners 5, Giants 4. The two home runs off Barry Zito accounted for all the runs that beat him. It’s not as if he gave up cheap ones, but a two-run homer by Ken Griffey, Jr., and a three-run bomb by Adrian Beltre were all it took to erase the hard work the Giants offense did putting together a rally. With the Giants’ pitching strength, four runs have to be enough.
