Sunday: more adventure than I'd intended.

Last weekend, I decided that I wanted to try going for a hike. I'd been really impressed with what I'd been able to manage the week before, and I thought another hike of about 1 or 1.5 miles would be fun and good exercise. Savage Park, a few miles from our apartment, promised on their website that they had several short hiking trails. It seemed perfect.
( the best-laid plans... )

Evil, evil timesink.

My mother, who is evil - evil! - and apparently never wants me to get work done again, sent me a link to a jigsaw puzzle site. Cute little Java applets of jigsaw puzzles - you drag the pieces into place and they snap together. Innocent, right?

Except. It's not just jigsaw puzzle piece shapes, which would have paled on me quickly.

Puzzle pieces in the shapes of birds. Escheresque interlocking lizards. US states. It's fiendish.

The only possible way for me to save myself is to inflict it upon others. I'm not sure how that will help, but I'm sure that it will.
