Yesterday was one of the best days in a long time. It started with me and sounds_sound getting coffee and a muffin, then riding our bikes along the Sea Wall to play tennis. We have been talking shit to one another about our impending tennis match for some time now. Let's just say, it was an epic battle that came down to the last games and ended 7-5. -We only played one set. We then rode our bikes to the beach and went swimming. It was so damn cold at first but then, envigirating. I have never swam in the ocean surrounded by forest. I've done so in remote tropical settings but never anything like this. It was like swimming on Endor. After that we rode our bikes to and had lunch at the Cactus Club on the beach, where we people watched and had two beers. Side note: LOTS of beautiful people in Vancouver. After lunch we continued our bike ride along the Sea Wall. I was using s_s's girlfriends purple bike and wearing her pink helmet. I looked ridiculous, but it was fun. Then, s_s took me to the towny bar that he frequents. We ran in to his buddies there. Then we rode back to our hotel and went to dinner. Where we had these: Then, s_s took us on a walk through some of the city where we saw dance troops rehearsing in outdoor ice rinks, waterfalls: And this amazing piece of artwork titled "Internity," by Patrick Hughes in the Georgia Hotel: That was the end of the evening. A Great day! Thursday night we have a Hubski meet up in Vancouver. Who wants to join myself, s_s and forwardslash?
thenewgreen went swimming with his shirt on. Just sayin'
Trust me, had I lost we would have played more.... I was getting tired and he was gaining momentum. Seemed like a good time to stop.
Sorry, I was just enjoying the thought of a spirited game of strip tennis between you and sounds_sound. :) "That'll cost your trousers, old boy!"
Unfortunately, only one. However, it was our sixth of the day. s_s had to work the next morning. Right now, I'm on the ocean having a whiskey sour though and it feels good. Chill.
