The Red Apple? Sometimes. It depended on the mood of the parental units. Sunday? Wonderful.

Supposed to be 65 in the mountains on Saturday and Sunday, but that's the high. I go up in the mornings for day trips and I'm not looking to hike in 40 degree weather at 9AM.

One of the things I like about Gen is that she is a lovely young woman who is earnest and sincere and wouldn't hurt a fly without a pang of guilt about it... yet every thread she creates leads to much whailing and gnashing of teeth till moderation inevitably gets involved with much warning and dealing as in anyone else's threads i have seen on this site.

There is a talent there that i much admire.
