Hurray for the longest day of 2009!  It was a steamy Midwestern day- the kind where the tar bubbles on the country roads.  Nevertheless, we got up to Springfield and went for a nice motorcycle ride with my folks. Lunch was had at a new, untested restaurant in Lincoln, followed by a couple of hours in the pool.  The food was ok, the water was first-class.

After a 100 Years of Solitude season of rainy weather, it’s nice to finally have a chance to enjoy some outdoors time, even if it means sweating while sitting still.
