Birthday

Entered my middle-late thirties yesterday, also Earth Day, of course, and celebrated with a walk up Mount Royal. at a vigourous pace, my second such excursion in the past week. Went late in the day, as it was quite hot, 25 degrees, possibly a record for April 22. Fretted about NYC, which may be back on, if I play my cards right. Crazy friend M.C. visited from Ottawa today, only for a few hours, as she is too stressed over the prospect of leaving her cat alone at home overnight. I tell her it's not a dog, but she always leaves it at her parents' when she leaves, or else takes her with her. Anyhow, went to la Paryse, a great dyke-run burger joint near my place, and then showed her my apt. Of course, she was bowled over by the mess, kept saying it could be so nice, if only I tidied up, and it would only take a couple of hours, which of course is absolutely true. That's OCD for you though. This is why the depiction of the disorder was so much more accurate in 'The Aviator' than in 'As Good as it Gets'. Finally got a bit of much-needed rain this evening, after nearly a week of unseasonably warm and dry weather.
