Sunburnt but happy:

I spent this afternoon with Kristy, Parker, and Kristy's roommate in the Japanese garden in Jackson Park. The garden is beautiful, if very small, and the day was amazing. It was one of those "it's too hot to do anything else but lie here and listen to the geese and talk to my friends and pretend that I'm reading" kind of days. Really glorious.

Though now I should be working rather than going running, playing with the cat, and generally being not at all productive.
