I can't believe after a lifetime of never seeing them, they've been apparent here THREE times in the last year! I was, luckily, out for dinner at friends who live out of town, away from lights, and we got some great pictures. (But didn't see the comet, which we also looked for . . . will do that again tonight.) I managed to tweak my piriformis muscle last week walking a VERY fast five-mile walk with friends - it started speaking to me with about a mile to go, but it was a trail with no option to bail early. I notice it particularly going up stairs, which it does not want to do. Fortunately I had an acupuncture appointment yesterday and got needled right where it could do the most good. But I'm able to go to my fitness classes. Yesterday I took a balance class that was about "strengthening" the vestibular system, and we played catch for most of the class, which was amazingly fun. Can't remember the last time I played a game of catch! This weekend looks to be the last of our Indian summer. We will hit 70 on Sunday - and then on Monday, the autumn rains set it. My cat will get one more weekend of lying in the sun in his catio before I take it down for the winter. I'll try to do one outdoor activity, but (hopefully) the book that I've been shepherding through the writing/editing process will come back from the authors with all final revisions approved, and I'll spend most of the weekend getting it cleaned up and coded for the - they still call them typesetters, even if it's all digital. That's due Monday. Thursday I'm headed into the big city with friends to hit the Japanese Gardens at the University of Washington Arboretum, and have lunch at a nearby cafe. Other than that my week looks to be low-key. Eggs benedict? Now, is the hollandaise PROPER hollandaise, made with plenty of lemon? My mom was the queen of hollandaise. She would have been 105 yesterday (not that she would have wanted that), so she's been on my mind.
