Mostly relaxing weekend for me. I went to Hamilton Creek to get an offroad ride in on Sunday, but it ended up being too wet. I guess it rained on Saturday night. It was not so sloppy that the trail was getting too wrecked, but enough to cause some concern. Add to that the need to ride somewhat slowly and cautiously in order to not slip too much on roots or rocks, and it just didn't add up to being a good day to ride out there. I rode half a beginner loop and took the connector trail back to the parking lot. As I loaded up, I created the lofty plan of climbing on my road bike when I got home to try to get a decent ride in. When I got home, a nap sounded better than riding by myself on the road with traffic. So I called it a day. I took that nap and didn't worry about riding.

Also yesterday, I visited a school that is of interest for sending Emma to next year for Kindergarten. Appears to be a great school. Non-religious, progressive, but also not overly accelerated. I am more interested in her receiving a solid and well-rounded education than being at the 12th grade level in everything by 3rd grade. I want her eyes to be opened up and her imagination and potential to not be limited. I think she would do well at the school if she could get in. There are about 30 spots available for a pool of probably 150 applicants. Thinking about entering her into the pool. We'll see.

Last night, I went to see Man Man play again at the Mercy Lounge. If you are unfamiliar, they are worth checking out. They put on a great high-energy show. Only downer is that last night's show was probably just under an hour. They pack a lot into that hour, so I don't feel cheated for my cover, but more that I just wish they would play more.
