We enjoyed a fine Saturday morning today. After sleeping in a bit, we enjoyed a nice little breakfast at McDonald's; yeah, doesn't sound like anything special, but it was pleasant enough. Then we headed out through the thickly humid morning air to the Whole Foods Market on the East Side. A bit of a hike over there, but a very nice experience: the staff and customers alike were happy and helpful, we bought lots of good food, and enjoyed the trip. If they had a store closer to our home, we'd go there, and more often than we go East. Lunch was leftovers at home. Then out again on a couple of errands closer to home. Dinner at home was easy and excellent: Amy's Roasted Vegetable Pizza, honey rock melon*, and Newman's Own Organic Ginger Hermits — all three items from Whole Foods! She bought a couple of heavily marked-down DVDs during our afternoon foray and we watched one of them –a production of The Merchant of Venice— for the night's entertainment. Pretty serious fare, actually, but well done. A fine Saturday morning and a pretty darned good day!
