Adam came to visit this weekend and we both had/have loads of work to do, so we spent most of the time sitting at the table across from each other on our computers. I got a lot done on my portfolio, but not so much on school work. That's what Monday mornings are for I guess. Saturday night we went to Rack and Soul for the BBQ that I had suspected might be really good. And it was!

It was soooooo warm and sunny out yesterday. And while I mostly just watched other people enjoy the weather through my living room windows this weekend, we did go outside for a while yesterday after lunch when we walked through Riverside Park. Our destination was General Grant's Memorial at 120th-ish Street. We took a trail that we thought would lead us there. Alas, we ended up at the edge of the parkway and had to scale the side of a hill. It was like Class 2 hiking in flats. We recovered on the steps of the memorial where we watched what had to have been the NYC Unicyclists Association's spring meeting. There was a pile of literally 20 or so unicycles in the corner of the plaza, a few of which were being ridden by cyclists of all skill levels. It was hilarious. Oh and there were skateboards, pogo-sticks and batons involved too. 'Figures.

We went into the memorial where the guard clarified for us the answer to the trick question, Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?...Nobody, because Grant and his wife are in fact entombed there (not buried). Wah-hah-hah. It didn't originate as a trick question though. Groucho Marx would ask it on his game show to ensure that no contestant left without getting a question right. And there you have it.

Even though we worked a lot, it felt like a real weekend since I stayed away from school for a whole two days. And now it's raining, Adam will get on a bus soon, and I'll go up to school again. Boohoo. Sounds like I've got a case of the Mondays.
