Vacation, part 3

What fun!  I attended a yin yoga class with Liz and enjoyed it.  While quiet string music played in the background the young instructor led us through various stretches, usually in a seated or prone position.  Nothing fancy, just gentle movements and deep breathing.  When I did Jazzercise several years ago we spent time stretching but each pose was only a few seconds; these were one or two minutes each.  So quiet music instead of rock, a small group of people instead of thirty or forty, longer stretches...quite a change for me.  But I enjoyed it a lot.  After class we shopped for groceries at HarrisTeeter then stopped by a friend's apartment to feed her cat before coming home for lunch.

While we were out, Sean and Randy decided to install a new timer switch for a living room light fixture and enjoyed a trip to Lowe's for tools.  Alas, the switch was not suitable for this particular case, but they each learned something during the process.

Liz and I played a game of Scrabble with the score pretty even till the very end, when I went out and she still had the Q and a V.  Sean grilled hamburgers for supper, then we watched "State of Play," a movie with Ben Affleck as a congressman investigating a private security company and Russell Crowe as a newspaper reporter investigating the death of Affleck's mistress.  Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren, Jeff Daniels, several well-known actors played parts.  It was tense!

E, K and e arrived in Alameda last night.  I wish I had been there to welcome them, but I'm sure they were fine.  After all, E used to live there and K has visited numerous times.  Even e may remember the layout from her visits.  We will see them tomorrow night.
