procrastination is a virtue

ha. i have a paper due on monday, and two due on tuesday. i've finished one that's on tuesday, almost done with the one that's due on monday, and haven't touched the other one. but what else i'd be doing but write my thoughts on my blog. lovely.

alida and i have been enjoying our after-work walks in lincoln woods state park. we do a loop around the olney pond, some on paved road and some on trails, and some bush whacking. there is a cute little beach that local kids are already swimming. even though the highway runs right by and you can hear the traffic (which is a turn off) it gives us few moments of peace that are rarely available in the west side of providence. we've seen some canadian geese, swans, mallard ducks, little frog and bull frog, and an orange bird (oriole, may be?). it's finally getting nicer in rhode island - it seems like we got no spring this year and went straight into summer. i'm glad we found a little oasis in our dreaded life in rhode island.
