I was going to come home early and do laundry and update my checkbook and update the blog and do all manner of orderly things, but instead I went with Roommate and her co-worker on a hike that lasted until 10:45 -- still daylight, of course. Her co-worker has a yellow lab, which looked very outdoorsy and REI whenever it bounded up the trail and then turned to check on our progress.

Thus, it is 12:28 am and the laundry is still running and I am still up, with no errands accomplished. Agh.
