October 20, 2007 - Saturday

ell.. remember I was talking about Karma for giggling at the woman who had sore muscles after "Doing the lake"? Remember how I sprinted up the hill to the chocolate place yesterday morning? After I woke up, I couldn't move my legs well at all in forward or down positions, such as down a stairway. My friends were laughing at me as apparently I have not been on speaking terms with my maximus glutomous muscles for quite some time. 

On the ferry 'gossip board' yesterday, Gerald found a drum carder. I had been talking about one a few days before and suddenly one appeared. It was being given away, so we went over there first thing in the morning to pick it up. It is really cool and has a neat history. It will be in the Winter 2007 issue of the magazine. S-C-O-R-E!!!!

I was really rather looking forward to a small walk to help stretch things back out, but with all the rains, we watched movies most of the day. Half of the people I have been hanging with have been movie extras for many years. So I wanted to see the movies they were in. Some are hard to see and you need to look very close and very quickly, but it is pretty cool to see your friends as someone else on the TV screen for even a millisecond.

In the evening we went over to Duane's and his girlfriend came over as well. She had the brilliant idea of pizza for dinner. They have Tuscany style pizza there and I trusted her judgment of what to order and we went about making a salad in the kitchen to go with it. I was rather dubious at her recommendation of a pear, roasted onion and brie cheese pizza, but I have to admit, it is now my favorite pizza. I have not played board games for a long time and Yahtzee and Scrabble we played until late into the evening.

All the food is so fresh on the island here and so much of it is organic. Yum.
