Painting, then Basketball

Thursdays are busy days, comparatively.  The mornings involve tax work and usually an errand or two.  From 3-6 p.m., I go to painting class.  From 6:15-8:00 p.m., I play pick-up basketball.  Not sure if the 15 minute turn-around from watercolors to lay-ups marks an actual left brain-right brain delineation, but either way, come 8:00, I'm tired.  After playing, it's out to a local spot for a couple of beers, trying to follow and contribute to conversations in Romanian (and generally doing a passable job at it, but only if I focus in on the conversation from the beginning.  Jumping in halfway, listening in on someone else's conversation, or carrying on two conversations at the same time are skills that are going to require a good bit more practice.)
