Rain

It's not that I don't like the rain. It's more that it's very inconvenient for it to be raining so much right now. I bought a new mountain bike earlier this week and was really looking forward to trying it out on some of the trails around Houston but no. The rain has put a quick stop to that. It's not that it has been raining non-stop, but it's been raining enough to keep the trails muddy, and riding muddy trails equals ruts which equals not good. So instead I've had to keep busy in other ways; like hanging out with my sisters, watching the new Bourne movie (finally!!!), attempting to go to a Rice football game only to have the rain postpone it near the end of the first quarter, catching up with friends I haven't seen in a while, and curling up with a good book on the couch. Being grown-up still scares me, but I am also beginning to appreciate just how much fun it can be.

Ooh, you have a mountain bike now? I want to ride with you some time. Let me know some weekend that isn't sectionals and that's drier than it has been lately.

Also, music-wise, we definitely need to play this week. Will you still be swinging by Rice on Monday? I really hope my schedule is better on Monday, it only being a pseudo-holiday for me.

Apparently, we met the same person (her name is Lauren) within a couple weeks of each other. She's a violin teacher, playing pickup ultimate (mostly at Hermann Park, I think). She said she newly knew you.

Okay, that's enough (too much?) stuff for a blog comment. :)

We will totally have to plan on riding sometime! I probably have a more flexible schedule than you do so let me know whenever you want to go!
