On a day well spent

While any day with a good idea is a good day, sometimes good days are also just days with very few low moments.

Today was such a day. I started with a brisk bike ride, sat in a highly entertaining Matt Sparke lecture, met with a delightful student, and then checked in with my fellow co-president about department news.

I got some reading done, had a snack, enjoyed lunch, caught up on a highly amusing Daily Show, in which Jon Stewart railed on mainstream media for their approach to #OWS. Had a productive meeting, did some reading, and caught up with a friend on the phone. Wasted only a small amount of time ogling over the new iPhone, and ended the day at the gym with a much needed, though short, workout.

Finally, the super amazing Geo-Servers (intramural geography volley ball team) played a great game with great spirit and incredible improvement from our last game! I ended up the night with a bike ride home, (though this one less refreshing, and more just sticky and gross after leaving the gym), to eat dinner, enjoy a hilarious episode of Modern Family, and make some cardamom snickerdoodles for a colleague and neighbor.

No good ideas today, but still a great day.
