It's early, dark and overcast this early Monday morning. I am waiting for my coffee to drip and get my day and week started. The days now, feel like Fall. I want to stay in wear socks and read or if I go out migrate to the local coffee shop( in my case Beans and Brew) get some coffee and read the free underground newspapers, write in my carry journal, sketch and try to be cool. Especially if there is rain. I have been threatening to take on of my laptops with and use the free wi-fi but have not had the complete motivation o action as yet.

This weekend was much busier then usual with the visit from Brooks—who came down from Washington to participate in his friends wedding. A shame though, Brooks was sick as a dog for the whole time he was traveling. The actual wedding took place in Boston where Brooks was before stopping off in the Salt Lake area. H was in the city for about a week but was so ill he could not enjoy any of his time with friends and family. In the time Brooks was here we went out to et twice and had an evening at our home when local family came over for Ribs and Gumbo by Gabel which were excellent and conversation which was even better. The dinner was Saturday night and Sunday we had our farewell breakfast at the local IHOP an then Brooks was off to Vancouver.

I did manage to have sometime to myself Saturday morning—Dianne and th girls wen to Thriller. I read in the driveway and then powered up to State street to the KFC and I also go some leather gloves for the upcoming old morning powering up to the bust stop. Friday we lunched at Morelia's( Brooks pick) and Mark and Jasmine joined us and that was fun, good to see Dave and the Morelia crew. It I always good have a reason to go to morelia's. I got my new cell phone when Mark an Jasmine joined us for lunch:Casio Exilim C721

The Exilim C721 seems to be a great little cell—the phone is military grade and seems like the cell will be rugged enough to with stand me and all my turbulence. I really like the camera feature what little I have used the cell so far. The seems heavy but feels right in my hand. The camera seems very good as well. So begins a new week a week which I think the weather will change and I hope my options increase. I seem t have rambled enough.
