trees and books

I'm no longer afraid to look in my fridge and there's no gross water in my sink anymore. I also accomplished my other goal for the weekend, which was to see a redwood tree. Some of the details from the trip are a bit hazy... but I made it home and the proof is in the pictures. I suppose that makes it a successful weekend.
But before I stop, here's a little bit of an unnecessary and mostly irrelevant sidetrack - a couple of weeks ago, while I was waiting at the airport for my delayed plane, I read a fun book that turned out to be all about the little secrets that you try to keep from other people. The ones you keep from all people - doesn't really matter how well you know them or if you even know them at all. Some of them are silly, some of them are things you would never dream of telling someone else or letting them see, and some are ones that you sometimes just can't keep in no matter how hard you try. The book was about how people end up finding these things out and what happens when they do. It was a good, quick, summer read and surprisingly relevant this weekend. I guess when those things come out it usually is a surprise because it certainly isn't intentional to let them out.
