are the ones where I don't have anything to do.

I spent Saturday wandering down Telegraph Ave with a friend.  I'm so off the academic schedule already I didn't realize it was graduation time at UC Berkeley.  Should have checked ahead - it was a bad day for street parking.

The real kicker of the afternoon was people watching at the Orinda BART station.  There was a couple sitting in their car, waiting for their limo to go to prom.  The dude was wearing a white tuxedo with purple vest and tie.   I suspect that the  get-up actually revolved around his matching Nikes with purple swooshes.  His date was a well-fed little girl wearing a very tight, very short, matching purple dress.  I had to cover my eyes when she climbed into the stretch limo.

Sunday I caught up with college Lauren and Elizabeth on the phone mostly to plan for this week's upcoming festivities.  I ran some errands as well - got Lauren a book for her 24th birthday that I've been trying to find EVERYWHERE.  Bought a great wedding card for Liz and John: the front reads, "two become one," and the inside says, "it's the simple.  it's that beautiful."

Under that, I wrote, "It's also the name of a classic Spice Girls song."
