Got a call from Liz and Steph circa 4 PM. They werewinding down at Pontiac, and invited me out for a few drinks and to hang out. I took one look outside, anddecided I'd risk the downpour and left my house in a burst of speed.

Thankfully, I got there without too much incident. About 10 minutes after I arrived, it started to pour somethingawful. But by then, I was inside, warm, and hanging out with the girls. It's a bit earlier than I'm used to for drinks,but a really relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon, all told.
