aamcnamara and I wandered around parks and things near her home today. In the course of the afternoon we had ice cream, sat in the sunlight writing, and observed someone walking a duck. Yes, a duck. She'd walk along for ten or fifteen feet, then turn to make sure the duck was following. It was a plain white duck with an orange bill and it trotted along happily after its owner.
After spending the afternoon in the park, by the lake, and eating ice cream, we went and attended a Cirque du Soleil show.
