I could talk about..

• My night hike on Friday, listening to frogs an hour north of here and discussing the personal meaning of church music with a Catholic priest, then the complete dearth of decent men with a fiftyish divorcee
• Finally finishing the first panel of my elaborate stained-glass lamp
• Transplanting my seedlings into larger pots
• The 80-degree weather yesterday and the bike ride of ecstasy all over the city, including stops at Lincoln Square, Wicker Park, and The Mercury Cafe
• The arrival of my muscle relaxants, and today's glorious ride into work
• Eating ice cream with Beth at Taste of Heaven last night

But I'd prefer to start my Sven countdown, because that is the big news.

THREE DAYS!
