A little film festival action Friday night, a little bike-riding, cell-phone-earbud-cover-shopping, library-ing, reading Saturday, some sound boarding and garden-walking on Sunday and BAM there's your weekend. Had a good ride, actually, from St. Armand's beach to Long Boat Pass and back, covering 25 miles at just over 19 mph. Also, reading about Frederick Law Olmstead was interesting. He reinforces my new theory that people who do great things with their lives seem to have had terrible childhood or early adolescent illnesses that cause them to be bedridden or to lose hearing or to nearly die. Historically speaking, I guess, that seems to have happened a whole lot.
