No Rain

As usual, I read the radar wrong, so now it looks like it probably won't rain very much for the rest of today. Once I changed my prediction, I decided to go outside and try rollerblading a bit more. Perhaps I should have stayed inside.

Never are you more aware that the Earth is not flat than when learning to skate. Well, okay, I shouldn't make it sound so bad—I did manage to roll most of the way around the block. Toward the end, my brain was being less and less helpful, so I decided to finish up by clomping through the grass.

I was kind of disappointed, since I'd hoped earlier to spend much more time outside. Oh well, I've got a lot of other stuff to get done today anyway.
