Good Idea

Today at school I had an evening obligation from 5-7. This left me with the option of staying at school allllllllll day from 9 am to 7 pm without a break even for lunch as we had a noon lunch talk, or I could leave for a break between 3 and 5. I'm generally fairly useless that time of day anyway so I made the very sage decision of not staying inside when it was utterly gorgeous outside. Instead I ventured to the river where I splashed about, raxed and in general thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I thought the most brilliant streak, however, came with my idea to bring my Spenser novel with me into the river. Snuggled against a nice little boulder (a different one from the one that accosted me last week) and partially in the soothing cool water I finished off Small Vices. When I departed the river I noticed that my brilliant idea had caught on and there were several others reading in the river. As far as I could tell, however, they weren't reading Spenser. Takes all kinds I suppose.
