Living Room Picnic

Today I'm finding life to be good and pleasingly uneventful. The recent highlight was a swell European style living room picnic with Brenda Sunday night after I returned from Chi-town (I never got into the city proper - just ended up stuck out by the airport with the company people). I came up with the idea on the plane. I would go to our local fancy grocery store and get the best bread, cheeses, meats, berries, grapes, wine and chocolate they had to offer and spread it out for us on the floor of my living room.

Brenda was headed to the lab when I landed and would be hard at work for several hours. She liked my idea so when I got to town I headed straight for the fancy grocery store and stocked up on what I would need. Brenda brought over one of her favorite movies, Moulin Rouge. I'm not normally a musical sort of guy, but I dug this movie a lot. The colors, visuals, music and story stirred me and experiencing this with all of the great food and the company of this beautiful woman that I love made for a very special evening.

So yeah, I was thinking that not enough had happened for me to make a whole post out of recent events, so I was going to write about my recent trip to Ireland. I'm not going to do that now. Instead I'm going to head out to meet my writing group (they're critiquing chapter 21 of my novel tonight). The photograph is one I took on the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland in April.

Thanks for playing.
