Today's agenda included a trip to the gym and a viewing of The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum. That's right... we watched all three. I must admit that Matt Damon and Jason Bourne were on my mind since Friday night. I went to bed on Friday feeling as if it were Christmas eve... the anticipation of 6-8 hours of non-stop action with Jason Bourne and friends Sheila and Leah and others weighed delightedly upon me....Saturday simply could not come soon enough.
As I was preparing to leave my flat around 12 pm, I happened to glance at the Google weather widget on my laptop...I was very surprised to see a temperature of 29 or 30 degrees and white specks symbolizing snow in the graphic display. Hmmm, I thought, scratching my head....Didn't realize snow was in the forecast, and also didn't know the temperature was dropping into the 30s. A bit clueless, I made my way to the living room window to see for myself... Well, well, well, the weather gadget was right...before my very eyes there was snow! It took me 3 hours from the time I awoke to notice, but I finally put it together.
Granted, it is merely a dusting, but nonetheless, we had our first official snowfall here in Prague. I grabbed my handy Nokia N95 (feel like I'm doing product placement) and snapped a few shots to document the occasion and to share with you all. Up close and personal... snow on my windowsill... Yes, I'm fascinated.
I'm very happy to report that my walk to the gym was invigorating. Everyone was out in their winter's finest. Snow caps, furs, hats, and gloves. The crisp air made me feel alive and kicking. It wasn't a drag at all to make the 20 minute walk. And, my workout? It was exhilarating... cardio, weights, and sauna. My blood was pumping better than it has in a long time.
You might have guessed... I had to go and ruin that natural high with one too many sweets at the Jason Bourne/Matt Damon fete. I am inspired though... I don't really have the nerves for Bourne's work, but I'd sure like to be fit and agile and handy with the languages like he is.
