had a nice walk about town and did a loop around christ church meadow. the light tonight on the stone buildings was so surreal and beautiful. the city was pretty crowded with tourists, something i still don't quite understand. i get used to tourist season in washington, dc and alexandria, va, but there is no season here. they are just here all of the time.
we shopped some but bought nothing. there are few more wasted time things than going shopping with an academic if you expect a decision on the same day.
dinner was at best so-so. food was ok and for only $90 including a tip we had a nice so-so very small meal without dessert and just sparkling water and diet cokes-2 of each for $16. eating out here never fails to continue to disappoint me and i do it only for gail's sake. the food is never that good, the prices are ridiculous and the service is just ok, though tonight it was pretty good; always hard to get your check, but i have gotten good at getting it now that i know better.
back home to what was left of the birthday cake, some golf on the computer and some ebay bidding and buying. read some magazine, called my mom and now this. phone has no more time on it so no more calls today. left it home when we went to town and couldn't add time.
enough of today and so much for getting some sleep. bye bye 60 and onto what's next.
