Such a beautiful day it was yesterday, amazing. We watched some TV after breakfast, did some errands, checked out a new promising property but decided not to pursue any further due to the crime-ridden neighborhood, and then did some catch-up work.

No movies at all, but we did get to watch The Amazing Race and might snag Date Night sometime this week at the small theater just down the street.
