Yesterday's high temperature matched the record of 87 degrees for this date, and it sure felt good. It looks like good weather for the next few days, and I don't have a whole lot to do for school, so maybe I'll actually get out on the Burke-Gilman for a few miles.
I'm really online tight now just to spread the word for the Full Belly Project, the social justice project that John and Olaiya have initiated. You can read all about it on the dedicated Full Belly Blog, but in short, it combines good eating with good works: fund-raising meals to support microlending (and other) programs around the world.
It is inspiring to see people walk the walk instead of just talking about social justice, and if I know these guys, this is just the tip of the iceberg. So give them your support; I've added the event nights to the growing social calendar on the LotU Blog.
On a related note, but from the personal awareness perspective, Otis has asked an intriguing question in the Quiet Girl Gallery.

Cat nap fever
What a glorious summer day! I scootered up to Bothell and then back down to NSCC for classes this morning; easy classes for me, since the students were doing all the work! It was truly a fine day to be on two wheels, even in traffic.
I came home for a solo late lunch (Otis is out visiting her visiting brother) to find cats melting in various spots around the place. They have since shifted spots, but are still basically puddles of goo.
I have been lounging about with all the doors and windows open, letting the sun stream in and the warm air waft about. Could it be?! Is the true beginning of summer?! Do you believe in the interrobang!?
Actually, I haven't just been lounging; I have been working, too. The end of the quarter doesn't have a rush this time - I spaced out the final assignments better - but I do need to prepare syllabi for the summer and such. Not that I'm killing myself here, y'unnerstand.
Anyway, here's a cartoon for Soapy, just because making fun of 300 never gets old:
(Check out theWarehouse; some good stuff there)
