This weekend was an exciting one. Went over to some friends' places on friday to hang out and catch up on some old camp friend that live her in LALA land... Saturday hung out with my sister's boyfriend and caught up on my Law and Order of all denominations. Then had some friends over to my sister's place to hang out again! Sunday I woke up very early to get out hiking all day long, to later return to a house full of extended family! Always a plus!
Just finished the movie My Own Private Idaho... Interesting!

I have more respect for people who change their views after acquiring new information than for those who cling to views they held thirty years ago. The world changes. Ideologues and zealots don’t.
