What a weekend what a sunday!

So this weekend was the U of T Women's Centre's (Or the Centre for Women and Trans People, which is their new name) (where Danielle volunteers) 20th anniversary party. As a result much of my Friday was spent gathering up sound equipment for the party, and most of my Saturday was spent gathering up raffle prizes, attending the party, and transporting goods to and from the Cecil community centre where the party was held.

But that really isn't what this post is about even though it was a good time, this post is about what happened to me on Sunday. As you may or may not know I'm in a book club, and this months book is The White Bone. The book club meeting is scheduled for Tuesday and as of Sunday morning I had read 28 pages of this 324 page book.

I wasn't worried as I planned to spend all Sunday and then Monday night reading this book. So Danielle and I got up on Sunday around Noon and then went out for brunch at The Lakeview Lunch (used as a set in The Boondock Saints) with Fiachra and some of his friends from Brazil and Mexico. Then it was back home for some hardcore reading.

I read for two hours till about 5:00pm and which time it looked pretty nice so I decided to go for a jog. So I got into my jogging gear and went out for a nice 35 minute jog. Then I cam home, talked to my Family in Winnipeg, and had a nice hot shower, during which Danielle ordered some pizza.

I read until the pizza arrived at which time we ate and watched an episode of House together. Then it was back to reading for me.

I'm pleased to say that I finished the book last night around 1:00am and that I really enjoyed it, but that, again, really isn't what this post is about. This post is about what I went to be thinking: "Man, why can't everyday be like today?"

Seriously, it was a great day, went out for some food, got some exercise, saw some friends, spent some time with my Wife, relaxed, and read. It was just a good old fashioned lazy Sunday and I loved it. It's what humans were meant to do, we were never meant for all the stress and work that we experience in Modern life, we were meant to be happy...that is if we were meant to be anything...which I'm not so sure about...

Now if only I could figure out a way to have that type of a day every day...
