Our Duck Pals, originally uploaded by chris_wass.

I started a new compressed schedule last week at work of 4 10-hour days which gives me Fridays off. Monday and Tuesday were rough, but by Thursday I was reasonably adjusted to my new schedule. When I woke up automatically at 5:30am on Friday, I was very happy to snuggle back into bed, satisfied to start my long weekend with extra snooze time. Nate and I picked up sandwiches and went to the greenbelt park around 1pm. We had a gathering of ducks and crows around us once Nate started tossing bits of the end of his hoagie roll around. We wandered around taking photos, and this pair of ducks continued following along with us. They hopped in the water to swim and forage a bit, but still kept track of us, letting Nate crouch down within 2 feet of them to get this picture. He said that it was like they were posing for him; cute!

After the park, we watched Lars and the Real Girl, which we both thought was boring and far-fetched in a bad way. Later, we went to Cz & PB's for another Wii & BSG night, joined by Wendy and Chris D.
