Great Few Days

What a good couple of days. I had the GREs on Friday. I did better than my first time, which should make my application move much easier. I then had another professional appointment in the afternoon, which I think went well too. I rewarded myself that night, and Lisa said I was in "rare form", probably because I was drinking Rare Vos.

On Saturday, we went with the AMC Young Members group on a hike to Ricketts Glen SP. This is an awesome park. It was once slated to become a National Park (but WWII happened). There are some 20+ waterfalls over the 7 miles Falls Trail (pdf), about 3 falls per mile! On the carpool up to the hike, we discussed the redevelopment of Bethlehem, with the condos, casinos, museums, and the like. There were some familiar faces on the hike, and some new faces as well. On the trip home, the group met at "Red's" (oops, we just passed it), for some good cheap grub.

After the hike, we continued directly to my parentals', where we spent Easter. Yesterday was a nice day as well. Relaxing. Oh yeah, I also bought a new lawnmower (Home Depot had a great deal with the financing).

Pictures are here.

Finally catching up on your blog, I made it all the way to this one, and I clicked on pictures looking for your new lawn mower -- betting it was one of those ride-ons. Nice pictures anyhow, you and Lisa look great as always.

Nope, I still walk behind my mower, and love it. I'll be a long time before I a) have enough lawn to warrant a ride-on, and b) am incapacitated enough to need a ride-on mower.
