Two fun things happened today.

The first is that I made a new friend. Carolyn is in membership sales at my gym. We've had some great conversations since I joined, and I thought it would be nice to know each other better. After a friendly and tasty meal, we went to the Avventura shop to browse at some lovely glass and ceramics.

The second is that I learned how to levitate. Rob and I were so freaked out by some of the magic performed by David Blaine on his recent TV show that we copied down a web address from a magic video commercial to learn the secret. At the site, one can, for a small fee, download short QuickTime movies that explain the secrets. So I did it, and now I really know how to levitate, although I can only get a couple of inches off the ground at this point. Perhaps by the weekend, I can really catch some air.
