Simplify

Simplify Simplify. - H.D. Thoreau

One "simplify" would have sufficed. - Ralph Waldo Emerson in response.

Today was a good day. 

Starting slow by having to wait three and a half hours for the rental vans to be cleaned, the waiting paid off in the form of a delicious double cheeseburger from a tiny local joint. Thank you Bob.

Today involved:

The original REI,

Chocolate covered cherries,

Cold beers watching the sun go down from a rooftop on the waterfront of Seattle's fish market,

Ninja in an empty parking lot,

A strung out Native American telling us we were freaking him out (playing Ninja),

Welcoming Bill after his long flight,

Eating salads for dinner at 9:30 pm at a local restaurant, much to the dismay of the kitchen crew.

And now, my eyes heavy, I'm laying in bed just ready to welcome sleep. The other guys are already snoring. It's been a good day. Tomorrow will be busy finishing our preparations for the trips. Then comes Wednesday...and a new adventure.
