Weekend recap:
- Friday night, caught a free saxophone concert by chance in a park
- Saturday evening, dinner with AJ and MC at a yummy (albeit expensive Japanese restaurant)
- Sunday afternoon, went to the Living Mall with SC... such a cool mall! Also caught some of a wheelchair ballroom dancing event. Totally weird!

Some neato pictures (and some laughable ones!) at my imagestation account.

I "drove" a scooter for the first time today!! It was very spur of the moment as I was stepping out of the office with my coworker, me going to my bike, him going to his scooter. And I had a question for him about his scooter, and he asked if I wanted to ride... so of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity!

Now, it's a law that all scooter riders must wear a helmet, but he didn't have a second one. He said it wouldn't be a big deal... so he drove out of the parking lot, and I walked out to the street. Just then, a police car drove by. Whew... it didn't stop. So, I got on the scooter with his helmet on, and he got on behind me. First thoughts on driving a scooter, it's a little weird, and not that easy to control. Just takes some getting used to. Not far from our starting point, we pass a police officer standing by a car... was he a police? hmm... not sure. Yep, he was. So, my coworker tells me to go a little faster to get away, and he reaches from behind me and speeds us up. At the end of the street, we trade places and he drives us back to the office. Just as we arrive, a police car drives by again... I duck behind my coworker.

Someone out there doesn't want me riding a scooter. heheh...

BUT, I'm persistent. I've already scheduled to have another coworker teach me to ride tomorrow night. Step 1 to owning my own scooter!!
