The Adult Rob Gould - My Really Excellent Day
Today was the most relaxing, and therefore awesome, day that I’ve had in months.
The day started with Josh (@jlyurges) and I going to visit old friends of my family. This is a couple who are in the 90s and have probably been married for 70+ years.
She is an artist and he was a professor at Bowdoin. She and Josh talked art and he was fascinated with my iPad. We spent an outstanding morning with them at Rock City Books and Coffee.
Josh and I had planned to have an activity-filled day with visits to the Farnsworth Museum and the Owl’s Head Lighthouse on the itinerary.
Instead, after our morning at Rock City we came back to the Owl House and ordered some of the award winning cheeseburgers from our neighbor, The Owl’s Head General Store. After we ate these I saw that Josh had transitioned into his pajama pants and that was my signal to promptly take a three hour nap (after eating a extra-large bacon chocolate bar and a big bowl of Little Lad’s Herbal Corn).
In the meantime, my friend Elisa (@opheliaswebb) had actually responded to my early a.m. plea that she just get in her car and get her overworked self up to the Owl House for a weekend of relaxation. Just as I was waking up from my nap she was getting slightly lost on the other side of Owl’s Head and Josh was navigating her to us via phone. So I woke up to him repeating “just look for the tree with the blue lights … ” over and over.
After Elisa arrived we left to meet my midcoast friends Sharon and Julie (@xrivergirl) for an outstanding dinner at In Good Company in downtown Rockland. Everything was delicious including the conversation.
So, here we are back at the Owl House getting ready for bed and I can’t remember having had such a relaxing day in ages. It was really excellent.
Now, will I be able to sleep after my three hour cheeseburger bacon chocolate herbal corn induced nap?
