Took a trip to the Cape last weekend to visit the Grandparents as well as some old friends, namely Matt Miceli who has currently relocated to Minot, ND for some crazy work in the Air Force or something. Anyways, Grandparents are good, and friends are even better. Cel's family had a welcome home (for 2 weeks) party for him on Sunday and I learned that I can make pretty good margaritas. Katie, Cel Meg and I went mini-golfing after the cook out, which started out fun, lasted about 10 minutes, and then we decided how obnoxious we could be without getting kicked out, and then went sailing on Monday! CB, Cel and I went out for the afternoon, we sailed about a mile out, dropped anchor and went swimming and laid on the deck in the sun, and then came back. It was pretty cool, got a crash course in raising/lowering sails, tacking, and all kinds of other fun stuff (see above for proof). The weekend was capped off by an fantastic dinner with half-priced sushi at a restaurant in Plymouth on the way back to Boston Monday night.I've started the roomate search on Craigslist (was a little nervous about it), and I had a couple people stop by this weekend to check it out, and one of the guys has already committed to moving in. Hooray! There are a couple more showings this week. Stay tuned...
Colleen is back in MA from AZ for a week or so, and she came to visit the 'ville on Saturday. We went to the Aquarium (which was kinda meh - I remember it being a lot bigger when I was 10 years old), had a fantastic dinner at 5 North Square in the North End (then again, I don't think I've ever had a bad meal in the North End), wandered around the street fair-it was the Feast of St. Joseph!-and stopped and got a couple of canolli, and checked out the new fountains on the greenway. All and all, a great Saturday.
The Sox were in a free-fall last week, going 1-5 on their road trip that included stops in Tornoto (their sole win) and getting swept out of Arlington, Texas by the Rangers. Things seemed to be looking up on Friday and Saturday when the beat the Orioles (I took dad to the game on Friday night for a late Fathers Day present, he didn't wear his O's hat), but then John Smoltz had a meltdown yesterday (seems to be a trend) in the 3rd inning allowing 3 runs to score with 2 outs. Hopefully they'll rebound against the A's tonight before heading back to Baltimore on Friday.
Ok friends, big movie week on tap, (500)Days of Summer (finally) one night this week, and Funny People, which I've been looking forward to for a while - I don't usually like Adam Sandler but this one looks extremely promising.
