I took a much-needed “sanity day” off from work today – there’s too much going on in life right now, and I needed a day for myself, to sort it out. Spent plenty of time cleaning up the apartment, and the first floor is nearly finished. The bedroom won’t need much – just some laundry to be done – and the basement, well, we’ll leave that for later.

I took another trip over to Beikerch’s to pick up some cartridge reloading supplies, and picked up a Streamlight Scorpion while I was at it. It’ll be good to have, and it was nice to treat myself to a little something to cement today’s “sanity day” status… [grin]

On the way home, I opted to make a stop at Corbett’s Glen Park, one of my favorite places in Rochester. It’s a beautiful little plot of land nestled off Rt. 441, just far enough that what traffic you can hear fades from your awareness. It’s rare to see anyone here, and I spent some time deep in thought, watching one of the waterfalls and padding through the adjacent meadow. I had happened to wear sandals, and the coolness of the grass against my ankles was refreshing in contrast with the rest of the 85+ degree day.

I’m off to take care of a few things from 6-7, then it’s grillin’ time. My good friends Jason, Jeremy and Billi are coming over to burn a few burgers and throw back a few cold ones… If I can find some fire wood, we’ll stoke up my little portable fireplace, too!
