10/1: a walk downtown, twice

Wednesdays can be busy because I have two regular classes to teach, plus office hours, plus an independent study meeting. Often I'm translating for my independent study meeting up until the last moment. But today I got up early (5:45 a.m.), had a leisurely just-waking-up breakfast, and then was done with my translation before 7:00 a.m. The pay-off? I had time to walk with Chris down to the coffee-shop before my office hours, and we ate cinnamon rolls in the sunshine. Then after my independent study meeting (and after Chris' seminar) we were hungry so we walked downtown again for an early dinner at a restaurant we hadn't tried before. Leisurely strolls on a mild autumn day with my favorite company: what could be better?
