Western Michigan got a taste of good things to come yesterday when temperatures in Holland reached 70 degrees. I generally consider myself to be a nonviolent person, but having every patron come up to my desk and tell me how beautiful it was outside and how it was just too bad I was stuck inside all afternoon turned my mind to vicious and murderous thoughts. I'm happy to say I was able to get out and enjoy the end of the day at least with a trip to Laketown Beach. Originally there was talk of heading to the Saugatuck Dunes for a hike, but that wouldn't have left time for lake-watching enjoyment. The stairs? At Laketown? INSANE. I was feeling okay about my ascent until this strapping young lad came r-u-n-n-i-n-g up the very stairs I had just slowly traversed. This, of course, fueled my competitive nature and led me to speak of grandiose plans involving biking to the park, running up the stairs, running along the beach and finishing up with a swim. If someone is willing to meet me at the beach with lots o'food and icy cold beers, I think I could actually talk myself into doing it sometime this summer. In addition to the Laketown Beach lunacy, I hope to finally bike to Saugatuck and run up Mount Baldhead. You know, because it sounds fun.
I'm looking forward spending some time this weekend with an adorable baby I have not seen since she was in the smushy newborn stage. And, weather permitting, taking some serious time raking the beejeezus out of the croquet lawn.
I say "croquet lawn."
I mean "scruffy, overgrown, man-does-it-have-potential-but-there's-a-ton-of-work-to-do lawn."
