What can I say?

Whirlwind week. I am just getting back into the swing of things and it's already the weekend again! I had a great Memorial Day vacation. The best was an impromptu, and failed, kickball game I tried to organize. We ended up with too few to play kickball so we just played kick-the-ball and frisbee and flew kites in my now new favorite city park. When the sun was setting I remembered that I had brought sparklers so we all pulled them out and waved them in the wind. There is something absolutely joyful and fun about sparklers. After sunset we drank beers (shhh) by the banks of the "lake" (ok, after visiting New Hampshire and witnessing the endless monstrosities they call "ponds" there, I laugh whenever I see "lakes" here...we really do not have enough water in this state to qualify a real lake, or even a fifth of a NH pond) and talked and then ended the night at a bar with reverse happy hour specials. What a wonderful start to summer!
