flyrabbit came over for pork chops this evening...

...and afterwords he, emcicle and i decided to go for a drive for the evening, up to the north shore simply go get out. so with a handful of cds and little else we all jumped into the car and took off. ended up first in gloucester, cruising around the city streets and looking at beaches. all in all, a generally nice evening. pretty nice and relaxing just to get out, be near the ocean, and get out for a drive on some deserted roads. found one really nice one that was completely empty, wound through a semi-residential district so there was interesting stuff to look at, and was easy to drive at around 40mph, enough to feel you're going places but slow enough to enjoy having the window open. might have taken a good picture or two, or they could be crap, i have no real idea.so, anyway, i'm back home, and decided that i can't really sleep right now, so instead i'm going to attempt programming. things are deciding to be obnoxious, but i've not broken anything yet so i'm ahead on the plus column.
