This weekend fell somewhere between the “lazy” and “busy” categories. Original plans called for me finally getting around to buying a bike, but I decided to try to retrieve my old one from a former residence instead. That process is still ongoing, but if nothing comes of it by Friday, we’ll probably go the new bike route.

On Saturday Lisa and I caught a movie at the mega mall, followed by a thoroughly disappointing dinner at the Highland Grill in St. Paul. Today we headed up to Interstate Park—the Minnesota side—for three hours of hiking. There was the small issue of the under-construction trail that wasn’t labeled as such (although there was a sign stating “rock face unstable” at the end of the trail), but aside from that it was pretty good afternoon.

Every year there’s always a week where spring finally announces itself, where the leaves on the trees finally overpower their branches and the grass decides it’s going to be green regardless of what’s thrown at it. I think this past week was that week.

That said, there’s a chance of freezing weather tomorrow night, so maybe I’m being a bit premature.
