...and goes up to 80°F next Wednesday. Grrr.

Finally time to enjoy some outdoor activities, so we did: played a round of miniature golf (despite the fact it was cool, James still got sunburned, thanks to his meds) at Mountasia. We took the "Giraffe" course—there's also a Zebra and Elephant—and on the 10th hole, which was a 45° downward slope, my ball bounced off the rock surround and rolled down into the largest of the numerous pools of water on the property. It was impossible to get it out, so we both played using James' ball for the rest of the course.

Plus we took Wil for a walk through the complex when we got home. There is one house left unsold. It's a small house and I think that's part of the problem with selling it. A couple with a small child or a single parent would probably do well in it.

Otherwise we treated ourselves to "endless shrimp" at Red Lobster, walked around Old Time Pottery immersed in the Christmas things, and scoped out both Lowe's and Home Depot for a gas log. I was getting sticker shock from Lowe's, which doesn't have a gas log under $144 for an 18" wide unit. Granted when we bought the gas log for the old house, we got it on sale and with a gift card, but wow. Home Depot's price for the cheapest unit is a lot better, $99 for a 21" unit. (I just measured to see if it will fit, and it will.)
