Ah, Saturdays...

Saturdays are for getting eight hours of sleep...making muffins...drinking coffee on the back deck, visiting with Max, Charly, and Frankie while they eat breakfast...running with Rick Steves through the streets of Athens (me on the treadmill, him on TV)...cooling down to Three Doors Down...moving the laundry around...drinking more coffee while paying bills, blogging, checking email, and chatting on Facebook, listening to James Brown (what a wake-up call for a Saturday morning!) and now U2...and now REM (it's on shuffle now)...smoking a brisket...making fruit salad...heading off to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday...it's a very nice day, indeed...
