Home again. May I just say, I LOVE traveling on the train. So simple. Business class is comfy and quiet.

What I did on my holiday weekend:

– ate at Sonny & Tony’s – a mom & pop Italian place near starrcat‘s house. Great food and great ambience. And at 3:30 in the afternoon, it’s empty. ::g::
– watched episodes of The Closer, season 3
– visited with J and F all day Saturday
– discovered Rita’s Water Ice (2 visits for frozen custard)
– watched some Season 3 Buffy: When She Was Bad and School Hard
– managed to snag the Doctor Who finale thanks to starrcat‘s broadband and save to my flash drive…but alas, no wifi
– stayed up too late watching said finale (yes, there were tears)
– breakfast Sunday a.m. at The Original Pancake House. My omelet was as big as my head. Too bad I couldn’t bring the leftovers home, but I did get a lovely bowl of fresh strawberries with cream as a starter.
– Caught the earlier train, upgraded to business class on the return trip and had a lovely quiet trip back
– finished Small Favor by Jim Butcher (wow!)

Got home around 3:45 p.m., called my folks and spent the rest of the afternoon just lazing about, surfing the Intarwebs and just relaxing.

How is it 8:30?

Wishing all of you that celebrate, a Happy Independence Day!

I’m off in about an hour to Union Station, where I’ll take the train to go visit starrcat. Tomorrow the gang will join us.

Traveling with me, will be Morgause, my new MacBook Air. JEEEMINY, she’s gorgeous. Nameless, the MacBook has now gone to a good home.

I’m hoping to get starrcat‘s router hooked up so I can have wireless access at her place. ::g::

Cheers and happy holiday!
