| Much easier start to this week. Slept in and then after church we had the Easter egg hunt and lunch. Then the day was about as perfect as you could ask for 70F and sunny so we spent the day at the playground and pound fishing. I did have a work dinner tonight but just squeezed in a very very pleasant 5.5 mi in perfect temps, low 50s... Even saw three deer. This week is going to be another crazy busy one but at least it is off to a rested start.
