Spring Fling 2011 - Days 3 & 4

The weather eliminated any guilt from making these two very quiet & relaxing days.  It rained, at varying intensities all day Saturday and although Sunday was dry it was still unpleasant as it remained in the mid-30's all day and the wind blew strongly, discouraging any outside activity that was not essential.  Both days were spent in reading, watching TV series on DVD, some PC activity, and eating - pleasant, but hardly stirring stuff.

Saturday evening was spent at the Country Club as guests of the Library Board President in attending a "roast" of a much-loved local figure (& former library board president himself) who was about to retire after a lifetime in education, much of it as the Junior High School principal & through whose school the vast majority of the attendees had passed.  It was a successful charity fund-raiser and actually both amusing and enjoyable even to an out-of-towner and a city "newcomer" (eight years down here doesn't qualify as anything else!).

Sunday's "out-of-house" experience was to make two laps of the proposed upcoming 5K circuit, the first to check the route and make a couple of off-setting changes, and the second to "proof" the 3.1 mile distance.  That was followed by a supermarket run to get the ingredients for the delicious pot-roast we enjoyed in the evening.
