This morning at practice we did the Head of the Lake course twice. Since our boathouse is near the finish line, we did the course in reverse first, then did the official route from start to finish for the second piece. Paddled in some areas for safety (fog and cautious turns). When we reached Lake Washington, close to Husky Stadium, we could hear the Husky Marching Band practicing. At 7 in the morning, or whatever time it was. Probably right around 7. It’s not every day, that you wake up at 5:40 in the a.m., can watch a beautiful sunrise on a rare, clear, autumn day in Seattle, and on top of that, be serenaded by a marching band. You have to cherish it.

Anyway, on to more important things … Lunch, while watching Huskies football:

Three-bean chili (from the Market) with a few Guacamole Chips and saltine crackers. The guac chips I ate separately. The saltines I mixed in.

The husband’s lunch: Chicken & avocado on panini roll with a side of Samuel Smith:
