I didn't get my Sunday Lake Merritt walk in, nor my Saturday run with the Janes. Reasons? I wanted to party Friday night, and went to Larry Blakes to hear The Attachments (pretty fun), Or, The Whale (excellent!), and another band, The Hot Toddies, a girl band that sorely disappointed me. (Great lyrics, like "Photosynthesis," but with music and singing that left something to be desired). Thanks KALX for the free tix I won by being the fourth caller. Hence, the need to sleep in Saturday morning, and on into the afternoon. What decadence! So today, Sunday, when I should do my walk around Lake Merritt with Melissa, a good 3.1 miles walk, I blow it off to go to job interview. And walked 25 minutes to BART then another 20 minutes to her house, and 20 minutes back to Berkeley BART, AND 25 minutes back home. Most of that walking was at a fast clip. Nice! A good hour and half walk in tight jeans with a pack on my back. Exercise nonetheless. PS. I won't know if I have the job for another few days.
I'm happy about my exercise today, even though it was in commuting form. I re-realized (is that a word?) that if I want to exercise on my self-employed schedule I absolutely have to do it in the morning, unless I'm committed to an exercise class at the gym, which I'm not right now.

I love the textures in this one. (Below) It's a close-up of the tree from above.
