Currently Watching Dead Like Me - The Complete First Season see related

 Had a lovely time in Vermont last weekend. V outdoorsy. I kind of like this picture:

K and I had a hard time steering the kayak on the way out. Zigzag to the extreme best describes our path. But on the way back, despite wind, we were able to haul it across the resevoir back to the rental shop in time. Still have my Darth Vader hat.

K took this beautiful picture:

Highlights of Vermont trip:

1. Black cherry ice cream

2. Best potato salad

3. Sleep! My packed 'Hear-o's' earplugs stayed at the bottom of my suitcase, it was so quiet.

4. Watching half of Seven Samurai

5. Stumbling upon Robert Frost's grave in Bennington. Beautiful quote engraved on his tombstone: "I had a lover's quarrel with the world" v fitting of a poet. I like this one Ibsen quote I read on poetry too: Something like, to be a good poet you have to first SEE the world, and then have the reader see it as you see it.

6. Seeing the stars on a clear night

7. Cooler weather

8. The smell of Vermont - lots of times during hikes, K and I would take in deep breaths and enjoy it - diff from Bay Area hiking smells, though I like that too - like sweet earth

The wildflowers were beautiful too. We also hiked up a ski mountain so at the top, we got to sit on still ski lift stations and enjoy the view of the lake and forests below.

Now back in NY catching up on schoolwork. I have to move in about one week. I haven't started packing yet.

Partay on Friday. Will miss my family and friends traveling or living far away though.
