A Nice Day

It's a very nice day here in Anchorage. So nice, I should really post a webcam photo to show everyone, but I'm a bit tired of webcam photos. I suppose, if I were industrious, I would go out and buy a cheapo digital camera and upload pics to this blog.
But, not to put too fine a point on things, the last time I had a digital camera the pictures I took with it weren't exactly "family friendly." I'd rather not be tempted to go down that road again.
I went out for lunch and the sky was clear blue with highs in the 50s. There's a little wind, but not much. It seems that spring has finally deigned to show up, here on the Last Frontier.
During lunch, I went to Barnes & Nobles and bought a hazelnut breve from their cafe. Honestly, I wish that I hadn't. They've got a slew of new trainees working there and, to be honest, the quality of their beverages has gone down hill. I think I'll hold off on going there again until they get them properly trained. And I'm not ordering any more of their frapacinos until they go back to the original recipe. The last one I got was absolutely horrid. It tasted of nothing but milk and melting ice. Yuck.
Their bookstore, however, remains one of the bright lights of existence, here in Anchorage. I bought a copy of Stephen Hunter's The Court of Air, which I'm quite looking forward to reading. I've mostly finished the books I bought last week and need some new reading material. And I should seriously pack up some of the books I've finished and haul them off to the used book store. It's getting to the point that I can't see the floor next to my bed. If the stack gets any higher I can retire my bedside table.
Hope everyone out there is having a nice day.
Still alive and enjoying the sunshine. - G.
