Weekend Time

It has been a good week - no classes, on call was quiet for a change - nice weather - was able to commute on the Vespa all week. Walking around at dusk has been nice - comfortable, relaxing - it's what summer should be - it is a good sign to see many people downtown at night last night - making use of the (3 or so) restaurants with outdoors seating, a decent street-band - Charlotte's trying to be a real city. 

Also - the light rail has been making test runs for the past few weeks - I'm really looking forward to making that a part of my commute - less than a mile to the station at Arrowood, exit at the Trade St. station, then another few blocks to the office.  

I've pretty much planned out the entire new bathroom - will order the pieces this weekend and then start taking apart the current one next week. 

This should be the first big value adding project for the house. Tile floor and shower area, ceramic tub, console sink, modern Kohler faucets, new paint. It will be a vast improvement over the 70's era linoleum floor and fiberglass tub/shower that are there. 

This weekend - dinner and a movie Saturday - Il Posto, then Shrek 3. Maybe Situl tonight.
