super furry animals

I'm going to leave it to you to decipher that one.

Today was an excellent day. Not only did I get some laundry done while talking with the Housworth (yes "the" Housworth) online and listening to NPR, but I then met up with Steven for lunch. Correction: Steven the Warrior. He is back from Kenya, and we had a most enjoyable discussion about missions, life, growing up, and Gator football. It was great.

Then I picked up JT. We spent a bit of time at a McDonalds (shudder), which was transformed into a good experience due to the conversation and the company. After finishing up there, we headed to my house to make some music. It was yet another successful time. JT and I have spent a great deal of time together this week and it's been very good. I am really grateful for his friendship.

To top off the day, Sarah (the sister, as the Ruff is not anywhere nearby these days) and I went on another quest for coffee and/or desert. We started our journey at (shameless plug ahead) Primo Bean, which is down by Gators Dockside on Dr. Phillips (take note, Orlando folks). They had just gotten rid of their drip coffee (it was closing time), but we were able to snag some delicious gelato. Man oh man. It was good. Apparently they have food in the day time, too. And the owners are very nice. I will be going there soon to try their coffee. Of course, then I will bug them about going Fair Trade.

We needed coffee, though, so we ended up at the Barnes & Noble Starbucks-type-thing. It was pretty good, but I'm missing Sweetwater like crazy. Anyway, it was great to spend some time with the sister.

So that's all for now. I'm sure I could come up with something more interesting to talk about, but right now I'm relishing the last days of summer.

Peace,
Sam
