So boring it's probably not worth reading

It’d be easier to write things if life were more exciting out here. What was today… got up at 6:50, went to practice until 10. Came home and made some eggs and toast and leftover pizza for breakfast. Dan Nelson’s dad, Chuck, was hanging out and reading while I ate and gave me paper… he’s a talkative old guy but was pretty mellow this morning. The family has warned of him talking peoples’ ears off, and he certainly can, but as I said, things are boring, and an old guy’s stories are pretty good. After that, the long time started… I screwed around and tried to figure out how to fix my wireless, which didn’t work, so I went to a store (which sells Tivoli radios of all sorts, including PALs) and got an ethernet cable that works. So that allowed me to spend some empty time on facebook and whatnot. Then I searched the house and found some scissors and cut my hair in the bathroom. Then I gave in and napped. I wasn’t particularly tired but it was a good thing to do. Did I mention that this day was boring? We went out for our second row, which was shorter than yesterdays in addition to starting at 5 instead of 5:30, so we got back early (7) instead of 8:15 like last night. We’re still doing lots of drilling, but today we did some more power strokes all 8, which was more fun.

Came home while the Nelson’s were having dinner but Debbie had cooked some extra for Dave and me, which was great. It was nice to come home to a real meal and not have to mess around with a restaurant and all that. Yummy pasta and chicken and broccoli. Then Dave and I went into town and went to Ben and Jerry’s and had some yummy ice cream. Thought about looking for some graduation parties but some kids we saw said things are pretty mellow tonight… we may pursue hanging out at Dartmouth this weekend. Seems like this is a more reasonable week to hang out because no one’s here and the rows are pretty monotonous thus far. When things pick up, we’ll probably feel a bit more... self-restricted. Anyways. Probably more of the same tomorrow. More 8s rowing, more boredom, maybe some paper-writing. Silas gets here on Saturday, that should be fun.
