I did not run with the group in the morning as I listened to my body. I did not set the alarm clock and decided if I was awake at 6:00 am I would run but if not, my body was telling me it needed more sleep. My body won out and I slept in which felt good.

I was pretty lazy for the mid part of the day as I wanted to give my body as much time as I could for my body to recover. I had a very hectic week and it had caught up with me. I am feeling better now.

In the later afternoon, I needed to pick up some wine I had bought at Unwined. It was two bottles of rosé from the Rosé Day. On the spur of the moment, I texted Jesse and Jen to see if they wanted to meet me at the tasting bar and have some beer. Danny was doing a wine tasting so it was fun to see him again and try some more of his wine. I bought a chilling red from him that was delicious.

Jesse and I had some beer. I had a dark IPA which was very good. Jen had a class of rosé. I like Jesse and Jen a great deal. One of their best qualities is that they are willing to do things on the spur of the moment.

At dinner, I met Deborah Crabtree. I have known Deborah since college and we shared a house on Capitol Hill when we were young and foolish. I introduced her to her husband and godfather to one of her children (Rachel). We have shared many wild and fun experiences over the years. I had not seen her in 2.5 years so it was great to catch up with her. It is really nice to have life long friends who when you see them it is after no time had passed. It was a great evening.

We had dinner at Del Ray Cafe which is a great French style restaurant. I have always liked it. The young server tonight was named Marcel. I asked him if he spoke French (as his name would indicate he might), he said yes and we had a short conversation in French which was fun. His father is one of the proprietors of the Del Ray Cafe.
