Fun of a Monday

All signs point towards a successful walk this morning... and so it was. The chickens across the street have been chafing to get out, since their mistress has been in Hawaii since last Tuesday.
The visiting Japanese professor staying with our friends has been feeding them and harvesting their "yeggs," as he pronounces it, but he is not disposed to hanging around to monitor their out-of-coop meanderings. One day Effie, the biggest and hardiest-looking of the three hens was actually hurling herself at the door to their coop, trying to get out. Strange creatures.
Met up with a friend who's been in Pamplona, Spain going to school, but has returned to pick up a certificate to teach English as a secodn language, and will be heading down to Mexico for a year to do just that. We met at the climbing gym, where it seemed as if between the two of us we knew everyone there. Had a good workout, then went to the Old Towne Alehouse in Ballard, where my son met us. He and she had worked and climbed together in years past. We had a pleasant evening, and went home to serious conversation with his dad.
