This weekend: the good things

[oakenguy]

This weekend was...colorful...enough that I feel the need to break it down into two posts! In this one, lucky readers, you get the high points.

On Saturday D and I went down to Plymouth to visit with hazeleyedfae. We wandered along the shore peeking at wee crabs and watching terns hover-hover-hover-DIVE, were appropriately appalled in the giftshops, got to Ye Really Really Olde Cemetary just as the fog rolled in, *and* I found a snack hut which sold stuffed quahogs *and* Moxie.

For the record, stuffed quahogs taste like Stove Top Stuffing. Moxie continues to taste like the lifeblood of aliens.

Also for the record, hazeleyedfae is friendly and cool and extremely fun to hang out with.


Sunday morning I ran in my second-ever 5K! ("Ran" being a very loose, general term that encompasses jogging, shuffling, wheezing, sidling and very small amounts of cantering.) It was the New Charles River Run (there's that word again), which had several things going for it: it was close to home, it was flat, it was along the river, and it was early in the day. So afterwards I didn't spend 12 hours sitting in front of a fan and a TV, wheezing and slowly drinking juice, because I was a lazy slug, no no noooooo, I only did it because I was recuperating from my 5K.

That is my story, and I'm sticking to it.

So good! I think it's the gentian root extractive. :)

Did you ever try the Blueberry Moxie? I swear it was only on the shelves for a few months, and oh my was it bad.

I have not. They did not have it at the Moxiefest I went to.
