Another good workout

I'd thought about going out to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden after I worked out, but it seemed like it would make too busy a day, given that I have to get up quie early tomorrow. So, just a good workout, lunch at Excellent Dumpling, and some shopping (Chinatown and local drugstore and groceries). I realized that I was in a spend-money mood, but think it's mostly okay. I bought some expensive tea, and some ice cream, and more ginger than we'll possibly use because the vendor wanted to sell me a full pound. That's a lot of ginger root for two people. It was also the cheap bit of the day. The main thing was getting half a roast duck, to eat on the train tomorrow.

Packing, planning, predictions

No matter what Environment Canada is currently saying, it would be stupidly foolish to go up to Montreal in April without my winter coat. Yes, it might not go below 4°C as an overnight low, as predicted through Sunday--in which case, my Spring coat plus cardigan would do--but it might. This makes packing bulkier and more annoying than it otherwise would be, but at least down is light. (I may, however, leave the boots behind, because space may not be finite, but my backpack is.)

Environment Canada's forecast only runs through Sunday, and I'll be there until Tuesday, so it's not just a matter of limited faith in the forecast--though Montreal forecasting seems to be less reliable/more difficult than New York City forecasting.
