Roots

Favorite moments from today:

bike riding for the sake of bike riding (about 8 miles around the neighborhood and the campus)

in a great reversal, discovering parts of Chico I didn't know about because I was never a student here

enjoying the bright, bright sun-shiny day

finding a nice, quiet place by the creek to rest

a cross-country electronic Sam-scanning party via Skype in preparation for my big bro's wedding

home-made burritos (and trashing my kitchen)

realizing white Russians make scanning much less tedious
