Yesterday was a more or less perfect day. I went out in the morning to my meeting, then did some errands, in the middle of which Natalie called from JFK on the way out to Juneau for Spring Break. Back home, we confirmed that Mary is healing nicely.
After lunch I read my Maigret mystery on the couch while looking at Mary sitting in her chair, taking time to look up some of the small French towns mentioned on Google Maps. Then I had a short nap, followed by tennis with Rob. While at the Farm, we heard cheering through the trees, so we stopped over to the UNC Tennis Center and found that UNC was playing Duke. We even had a small snack provided free of charge by Al's. It was pretty funny listening to the guys on court and in the stands grunting, fist-pumping and yelling "Let's go!" and the like. At such a small scale it was all very ape-like and I can see why some women just hate being with men watching sports.
Then home, where I did a little laundry and basically finished my novel before we settled in on the couch to eat Indian leftovers from the night before and start watching The Residence on Netflix, which is pretty funny. Then a cocktail of tennis, soccer and Itchy Boots on YouTube before bed.
All in all, a fine birthday weekend Saturday.
