Enjoyable weekend? I'll say. Check this out:

• Four personal best times at provincials
• overall (all age category) winner of the 200 free
• witness of a Master's world record being set
• new respect for my lawyer's ability to make a highly enjoyable pot of baked brown beans
• several hours of pleasant and entertaining banter with Jay, the Two Broads and others in the swim team cast of regulars
• word that my little brother is kickin' butt in the classroom in pursuit of his carpentry ticket
• a amicable end to a Cranium game where my two increasingly-competitive daughters were pitted against one another (each paired with one parent as a partner)
• 60 minutes of peaceful, meditative ironing whilst grooving to a rediscovered Chet Atkins and Mark Knopfler CD
• a weekend of lovely, lovely no-jackets-required weather, hinting at the impending arrival of outdoor cycling season.

What a great way to end a week.
