My vote goes to the candidate who supports 3 day weekends!

Honestly, I might be able to put politics aside to vote for someone who pledged to implement mandatory, permanent 3 day weekends. Two days just aren't enough to get everything done, have fun, and rest. Hell, three might not even be enough. Let's go for four! Okay, okay, I'll settle for three. We do need some form of an economy in America after all...

This weekend was once again filled with activities. On Friday night, B and I went to the Twins game for the second time in one week. This time, we didn't bring good luck, and the Royals smoked the Twins 7 to 1 or something close to that. Ouch. Liriano looked awful, which might not bode well for the playoffs. I mean post season. Sorry B. Regardless, I still believe they can make it - Go Twins! Also, go Tigers, beat White Sox! Woo hoo!

On Saturday, B and I lazed around my place a bit and then ran a few errands. Later on, we got dressed up for our evening activities: dinner at Bellanotte and then Cirque du Soleil: Saltimbanco! It was a great date - great food and a great show. I had never seen any Cirque show, and B had always wanted to go, so I ordered tickets long ago. I really wasn't sure what to expect, but it was truly quite amazing. The performers did things that simply seem impossible: trapeze artists flying through the air and catching each other by their ankles with no nets below, climbing poles and hanging off them by their feet, crazy tricks on a bicycle, a man balancing in the air by holding onto another guy's head, and flying through the air over stacked people off of a swing amongst other things. Simply amazing. The performers have to be both incredibly strong and totally graceful all at once - not an easy combination to master! If you have a chance, I highly recommend checking out any Cirque show. Definitely better than any circus I've ever seen! :)

I slept in late on Sunday, and that was really nice. Definitely needed I guess. Finally finished the antibiotics for the sinus infection, and I swear it's still lingering. Maybe it's allergies. Anyway, after I woke up, I headed out to Chaska to visit my parents and especially my mom, who had her surgery on Wednesday. She seems to be in great shape, compared to her knee surgery anyway. Her pain seems manageable, and she's in good spirits. This is quite the relief, considering how awful things went after the knee replacement. Please continue to send good thoughts her way as she recovers!

While in Chaska, Dad and I stopped over at the church festival in town (for the parish I grew up in - my parents still belong). Immediately upon arrival, I ran into a grade school classmate. It's definitely a small world - great to see her. We also saw a bunch of other familiar faces, and I enjoyed a greasy homemade cheeseburger. Awesome. It's crazy how things change but stay the same all at once.

After the festival and a bit more time at my parents', I stopped at Target for groceries and a few other necessaries and then headed to B's. Once there, I made dinner, did some laundry, and did the dishes. Now it's already quite late, and I feel like I need an extra day. Thus the title for today's post. Two days simply aren't enough. I think we should all revolt and demand more leisure time. Together, we can do it! Ha. A girl can dream...from her office on Monday morning! :)

PS: An early Shana Tova to B and all my Jewish friends!

Go Twins!

The Twins are fighting for the American League Central Championship, and the next three games against the Chicago White Sox are crucial. To control their own destiny, they really need to sweep the Sox. A tall challenge, but I think they can do it if the pitching staff gets its act together. The bullpen has been brutal to watch (well, the starters haven't been too swell either), and they can't afford any more performances like that.

In exciting news, B and I are going to two more games: one on Wednesday night when they play the Sox and then one on Friday night when they play the KC Royals. I hope the game against KC matters, but that all depends on the Sox series. My point: GO TWINS! Time to pull out the homer hankies!

Friday, August 1, 2008

PS...

The Twins rock! 3 out of 4 from Chicago - that's not too shabby at all. I love those guys...too bad about Casilla's injury though - he was playing really well. Now if we can only figure out how to win against teams from NY and Boston, life would be grand!

I love the Minnesota Twins!

I've always loved the Twins (seriously, I watched them when they REALLY sucked), and this season, they are amazingly fun to watch. They really shouldn't be competing, yet somehow they are; this is true despite the blow out last night by the dreaded Yankees (sorry, B). And besides being good, they are truly a class act organization. Justin Morneau was incredibly gracious after winning the home run derby, noting that everyone will remember Hamilton's performance, not his victory. The night after that, the man goes out and gets two hits and scores the winning run in the All-Star game. Still no bravado or arrogance. Joe Mauer is the same, and so are the rest of the guys for the most part. I simply love that - talent AND class. Many professional athletes can learn from my Twins.

It's too early to say how things will turn out for them this year, but I do know this: win or lose (though I do prefer the winning), the Minnesota Twins rock, and they make me love the game of baseball even more than I already do. Now if they could only beat the dreaded Yankees...(sorry B!).

Go Twins!

Mean mean mean

Beth and I went to the Twins game on Friday night. When we sat down, I noticed that the woman next to us was slightly developmentally delayed. She was quite chatty and very excited to be at the game. She was cheering loudly and was just generally happy to be there. I gently teased her about protecting us from foul balls, as she had her glove with her, and we had a nice banter going back and forth before the game started. All was well, that is until I noticed the two assholes sitting in front of us.

Asshole 1, the husband, literally turned to stare at the woman every 30 seconds. It was obnoxious. Asshole 2, the wife, with a full on long mullet and crazy big bangs, kept covering her ears and making ridiculous comments about how loud the woman was, how annoying she was, how her ears hurt, that the woman was annoying, etc. She also kept covering her ears, as if this woman's cheering was hurting her. Now, I was sitting next to this woman, and not once did my ears hurt. I wasn't even bothered by her cheering. I thought it was great that she was so excited, as I love being at the games too.

However, the asshole couple would not let up, and I mentioned it to Beth. Being much more brave than me, Beth leaned down and told them that her sister was mentally handicapped and could not control her volume. They both said that she was annoying and that she could be quiet. Beth argued that they were missing the point - she actually probably couldn't and that she really wasn't being that loud anyway. They eventually turned around and started behaving at least a little better; the turning and staring stopped, and the ear covering only happened every once in a while. Once again, all seemed well, at least until Beth left to get some water.

As soon as B left, asshole 1 turned to me and said, "are you trying to be annoying?" Being somewhat stunned by this, as all I had been doing was cheering and clapping regularly, I said, "uh, no." A1 said, "yeah, you are." At this point I had no idea what to say, but fortunately, the man sitting next to B basically said to him, "what's your problem? Why don't you just watch the game at home?" It was totally, totally awesome! A1 and A2 both turned around and shut up then, and I thanked the friendly stranger. The best part: the friendly stranger proceeded to clap loudly next to A1's head for the remainder of the night. Finally, the assholes left the game in the 5th inning, which was a shame, since it was a fantastic game. All I could think was good riddance, assholes - thank god you are going back to the rock you live under.

In good news, the woman next to me and her dad never seemed to notice that she was being mocked/told to shut up, and she had a great time at the game. We continued to chat throughout, and it turned out she knew tons about baseball and the Twins. Others in our area were friendly with her too, and that warmed my heart.

Clearly, the asshole couple needs to learn a thing or two or a million in this world. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's possible to grow a heart, especially when you are starting with such small ones. They were absolutely disgusting people, at least that night, and it made me ashamed of the human race. Every time I think we've made progress, I run into assholes like them or I read the StarTribune reader comments (homophobic, sexist, racist, making fun of disabled folks, etc.) and I'm reminded of just how many absolute ignoramuses are running around. Quite sad, but at least there were good folks at the game too. They were the silver lining around the ugly cloud of the asshole couple, and I was grateful for their presence.

On a different note, I was quite proud of Beth for standing up to the asshole couple. I was very close to doing so, but I truly hate confrontation and it takes a lot for me to provoke it. She didn't hesitate for a second, and as a result, the woman next to me never had to learn about the asshole couple's poor behavior. Yay, B! You did a great thing, and I'm proud of you. :)

Random Road Trip


On Saturday night, B and I decided to go to the Twins game on Father's Day...in Milwaukee. Her family was also going, and it's really not that far from the TC. So, we bought tickets, packed up the car, stopped in Chaska to visit my dad for Father's Day (you're the best, Dad!), and hit the road...right into a giant thunderstorm! It was so windy I had to hold the steering wheel with both hands and concentrate really hard on driving in a straight line. B helped out, but Matty slept peacefully through the whole thing! Thanks, Matty! After we outran the storms, we had no problem and pulled into B's parents' driveway at about 2 am.

The next morning, we awoke and hit the road to Milwaukee. The drive took about 1.5 -2 hours, and we arrived in plenty of time. Traffic was a bit nuts, and I got a little snarky at B - sorry bout that. Anyway, we parked, got our tix, and went to our seats, which were literally in the first row of the lower deck in the outfield - directly above the Twins' bullpen! We were so close that I could have conversed with the players! Really, really cool seats.

Unfortunately, the Twins lost, but it was still a really fun game. However, and this didn't really put too much of a damper on things, we had one of those REALLY annoying fans behind us. The kind that gets drunk and then starts shouting really stupid things at the opposing team. He was obnoxious, and at one point, I actually muttered something toward him and he shut up for a bit. Our seat neighbors also said something to him, and they verbally sparred for a bit. Really, I'm all about cheering for one's team, but there is no need to be a total douche at the game. His friend had a girlfriend with him, but douche was single...I wonder why?

After the game, B's family actually got to go on the field (they had special father's day tickets which were sold out by the time we decided to go). It was really fun to watch them play catch and run around a bit, and we got some good pics of them doing fun stuff. What a cool idea in general - I have never been on a major league field and would love to check it out some time.

We then headed back to Neenah to pick up Matty, and after dinner and a crazy detour in Stevens Point, we were on our way back to Mpls. Here's to random road trips - I love you, even at $4 a gallon (thank god I drive a Civic!)!

April Fools Day Catch Up Blog

Long time no write! Life has been crazy. Here are a few of the things I've been doing:

1. MS Walk Fundraising. I finally sent out my annual plea for donations for the MS Walk. Come on peeps, I need your help! I want to hit $2,000 this year, and I totally think it's doable. Every little bit helps. If you want to donate, I've set up a link on my blog (top right corner). Thanks for anything you can give!


2. Watching two episodes of the Tudors with Beth and Samantha. To put it simply, I hate that show. Not only is it about one of my least favorite time periods in history (well, let's face it, I pretty much only like history from 1600 on anyway), but the show is incredibly graphic. In the two episodes I watched, I saw and heard a man burned to death, saw people boiled to death (Beth muted for me), and watched a man slit his own throat. WTF?!? Obviously, this stuff happened, but I certainly do not need to watch/hear it on TV. I seriously can't get the images out of my head. Disgusting. Needless to say, I don't plan to watch much of that show in the future.

3. ER visits. Poor Beth is sick. Something is wrong with her stomach/abdomen area, and after three trips to the ER and one night in observation, the docs still don't know what is wrong. They kept saying virus, virus, virus, but I'm sorry, viruses don't last this long. Currently, she is at Methodist hospital undergoing more tests. Her regular doctor sent her there to see a surgeon. Best guess: appendicitis. She had all the symptoms, but the cat scan was clear before. Who knows? I'm headed over to the hospital later today.

4. Jersey Boys. My family and I went to see Jersey Boys on Saturday night. I enjoyed the show, but my sisters and I and our respective dates were by far the youngest people in the crowd. The show must appeal more to my parents' generation, which is too bad because it's a good story with good music. Perhaps it's just the high price that keeps my folks away. If you have the time and the cash, go check out the show. Good stuff!

5. Visiting various Twin Cities Minute Clinics. I've been a bit sick myself, and after getting meds at one Minute Clinic and then not getting better, I had to jet to another Minute Clinic between classes yesterday. Good times! Hopefully this set of antibiotics will do the trick!

6. School stuff. I had a midterm exercise due on Monday, so I finished that over the weekend. I'm also trying to stay on task, as finals are in less than a month. I'm trying to remind myself that I only need to pass...

In other school news, one of my Sexual Orientation and the Law professors really irked me last Wednesday. We were discussing a case and she mentioned that HLNJ, my firm, argued on one side. After class, I asked her which case they had argued, and she told me the name. I then proceeded to tell both profs that I would be working there upon graduation. One of the profs said that was great and that she had a close friend there, and the other prof just said, why would you work there. She wouldn't even look at me. So, there I was, left feeling a bit crushed, as I'm proud and happy to be working for HLNJ, and I tried to respond by saying that I think it's a good firm, etc. She then proceeded to say that she had argued against them too many times to say anything, and then stopped talking. She basically left it at that.

I left class feeling dirty, like I had done something wrong...I can't figure out if she has a personal problem with some folks at the firm (likely guess), or if she just really can't stand people who do defense work (which my firm does a lot of). I also got the vibe that she thought I was selling my soul (she does plaintiff's work for people, many GLBTers, bringing employment discrimination cases, and HLNJ does a lot of employment defense work). I'm really not sure what her problem was, but I found her response quite jarring and completely inappropriate. If she has an opinion, she should state it, but she should also recognize that I'm a student and that what she says will impact me. Anyway, after stewing about it, I decided to visit with Career Services to discuss the firm and its reputation...I highly doubt I will make any horrible discoveries (I've already worked there for 3 months), but I thought it would make me feel better regardless. Stay tuned for more on that, if I remember anyway.

7. Volleyball. I played my last volleyball game of the season (I missed this last week because of another event which will be described below). Overall, the season went well, but we never played up to our full potential. Regardless, I'm so glad I played and I can't wait until next fall to start again!

In other sports news, I think I'm going to play softball this summer! I haven't worn cleats since I demolished my knee, but I thought, why not give it a try. I will try to take it easy and focus on fun...we'll see how that goes. I'm going to hit the batting cages soon, so that should be fun as well. :)

8. Bowling. Beth and I went bowling when I returned home from DC. It turns out there is a bowling alley in the midway - who knew (well, besides Beth of course)? We bowled four games, and I bowled fine. I'm just never going to be a good bowler, and that's okay. My tendonitis certainly remembered to act up though, as I could hardly use my right hand the next day!

9. Planning Trips. Alaska is booked now, which is excellent news. We have our plane tickets and everything. I can't wait to go on that trip! We will spend time in Anchorage, Denali National Park (location of Mt. McKinley), and Barrow, a town that is super far north and only accessible by plane. While in Barrow, I'll be near the Arctic Sea, which I think is quite neat.

I still need to plan my other summer adventures too...so many options, so little money! ;)

10. Setting a start date at the firm. As of right now, I will begin working at HLNJ on September 8, 2008! They let me choose between that date and the Tuesday after Labor Day. I figured I might as well take the extra time, as once I start working I won't have a whole lot of vacation time. Oh, in other news, Don Lewis, the "L" in HLNJ, is going to be the dean of Hamline's law school! This is great news for Hamline! Don will stay on at the firm in the Of Counsel position, which is great for the firm. All in all, good news!

11. Twins Season Opener. I went to the Twins opener last night with Beth and her parents. We battled the crazy snow and made it to the game with plenty of time to spare. Everyone kept talking about how nice it was to have the dome because of the weather. However, I disagree with them. Once the new stadium opens, the Twins will simply open the season on the road; there won't be home games in March. Plus, not that many games get rained/snowed out, period. I just don't think it will be a huge deal. I could eat these words in 2010, but oh well.

Anyway, the game was fun and the Twins won, so no complaints here. Oh, except that the hot dog that I ate made me quite sick. Other than that, it was all good! I can't wait to go to my next game...

12. Volunteering at Planned Parenthood. Not much new to report here, as I missed a shift for spring break and then another from being sick. I will be there tomorrow though, so perhaps I'll have a good story for the blog. Stay tuned. :)

13. Making plans to see you, my friends and family!
I'm trying to hang out with folks before the mad rush of finals and so you all don't forget I exist! ;) Shout out if you want to get together some time soon.

Well, I think that's about it. I need to buckle down on school work, so life (and as a result, this blog) might be a bit boring for a while.

Adios mis amigos!

Welcome to Minnesota - the land of -35 to -45 degree wind chill temperatures!



After just two requests for an update, I feel pressure to write something new. However, I don't have a whole lot to say. Law school is back in full swing, but I am not. I'm finding it extraordinarily difficult to get motivated. I know I will catch up at some point, because I always do, but unlike other semesters, it's hard to simply attend class. I think that not having a holiday break is catching up with me. I am very glad I went to Jerusalem, but I never had a chance to truly recover from finals (those of you that know me know how I function during finals - no good). All I want to do is lie around, watch the Gilmore Girls, sleep, eat, and talk on the phone. It doesn't help that I've never found class to be particularly helpful...I'm more of a "I did the reading and learned that way" sort of girl. Now that I'm close to graduation and have a job, it's that much harder to really care about class. Additionally, I have to take care of things like my bar application, Barbri registration, graduation application (done!), and ordering a cap and gown. I can't believe how fast time flies...I just have to get through one more semester, and I'm done! No worries, especially you Mom, as things will come together and all will be fine.

In other news, as my title indicates, it is absolutely frigid outside today. It's currently -14 degrees outside, and with the wind chill it feels like -35 to -45 degrees. Insanity. I actually wore a hat today, something I usually only do when I'm participating in outdoor winter activities. If I hadn't, my hair would have frozen instantly. Craziness. Fortunately, I have a heated garag
e, so I had no car problems. Hopefully the new car would have started anyway, but when it's this cold, you never know.

In fun news, I've been busy planning all my upcoming travel adventures. In February, I'm going to Northampton to visit Sarah , which should be quite fun (on the map to the right, Northampton is near Holyoke). I think we will spend one full day in Boston, and I'm very excited about that. I love Boston, and Sarah's never been, so that should be fun. In March, I'm going to Washington, D.C. with Mary, Jessie, and Sarah (for two days) for spring break. I'm extra excited about this trip, as I've never been to DC. Being a political junkie and a political science major, I've always felt it was odd that I had never been there. So, I'm finally rectifying that situation this spring, and I can't wait. I contacted my congresswoman to set up tours, ordered a visitor's guide, and started some basic research of things to do. Also, I believe our lodging is ready to go, and that is always a relief. If anyone has suggestions for things I must do, please shout out.

Additionally, I'm working on my big summer, post bar exam trip, and I'm also super excited for this one. Dad and I are tossing around different options, including Alaska (the picture on the right), the Canadian Rockies (the picture below), or a baseball stadium tour. I think Alaska would be amazing, but the pictures of the Canadian Rockies are breathtaking. I'm a bit torn about which location to choose. We have a travel agent working on things, so perhaps that information will help us decide. Again, I'm open for suggestions/advice.

This weekend should be fun, as I'm goin
g to a birthday party for a high school friend on Friday and then I'm going to the U2 3D show with Beth on Saturday night. I also can't wait to sleep in on Saturday morning. The rest of the weekend should be filled with...homework! Woot! I haven't been dancing in forever, so let's get that planned peeps. I miss it.

In bad news, and as most of you know, the Twins traded Santana to the Mets for basically
nothing. I knew they were most likely going to trade him (the ownership is super cheap), but I thought we would at least get more than we did. This could be a very rough season for my boys, but I will still love them. As long as the White Sox don't win the division, I'll be decently happy.

Okay, that's enough of an update for now - I honestly have been pretty low key lately. I hope everyone is well!

Time goes by...so slowly...or not. - myspace blog post

I guess I haven't written for a while again (patience folks, patience). Life is seriously flying by these days. What with work and various Harry Potter activities, I barely have time for sleep! I can't believe school starts August 22nd (or something close to that). That gets a major thumbs down, as I'm LOVING having a life again. I love seeing people, meeting people, doing fun things, and not having to study. Alas, if I actually want to BE an attorney, I must complete my third and final year.

As I know you are all dying to know, here's a recap of what I've been up to as of late:

1. The Harry and the Potters concert. When Karen and Paige invited me to go, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I knew the concert was being sponsored by the Mpls Public Library and that it was at a park, but other than that, no clue. Well, let's just say H and the Ps is good stuff. Totally silly, totally dopey, but I also couldn't stop smiling the entire time. Indeed, I even found myself singing/dancing along. How can you not dig a band that promotes reading and shouts out references to various scientific terms, such as ATP (and a bunch of other things I cannot spell)? I also really enjoyed seeing all the different types in the crowd enjoy the show (kids, teens, young professionals, people like my parents, etc.). H and the Ps: a nerdy boy's dream band. I say this with much love. Good times all around.

2. The Aquatennial Torchlight Parade. Okay, this was quite honestly the worst parade I've ever seen. There was no music, and the few floats were totally lame. The parade mostly consisted of various emergency services vehicles. Did you know that the Saint Paul Fire Department has a fan boat (they might actually have a bunch, because the one I saw was numbered 21)? Are there a lot of river fires that need attention? Did we develop a bayou? I know my firefighting knowledge is limited, but I didn't follow. Anyway, this parade also had tons of different pageant winners, but they were from places like Robbinsdale and other suburbs. I don't follow; isn't the aquatennial a Mpls festival? Finally, there were also random high school bands, none from the city. All quite odd, and the whole thing lacked in entertainment value. Boo.

3. Sweeney's. I met up with some school friends and had a few drinks out on the patio. No complaining at all here. Good times.

4. Working like crazy (which involves lunches and more drinks, diet coke for me). I've been putting in quite a few hours at the office, but I'm still enjoying the job. In fabulous news, my bridesmaid's dress still fits, even after all the many crazy lunches. I just have to hold out until Friday now, but I'm not out of the woods yet, as I have a lunch EVERY day this week. Insanity. Fun, but insane too.

5. The Art Car Parade. I went to the art car parade on Saturday, which I think is also part of the Aquatennial festival. Who knew I was so dedicated to the Aquatennial? Not me, but I went with it anyway. Now this was a pretty interesting parade. Fortunately for Karen and Paige, I found us some lovely seats on someone's yard (which was quite uncomfortable actually. The grass was dead, and for a brief while, I missed the lush suburban lawns of my youth). The parade was neat, but because of traffic issues it went rather slowly. Obviously, we had no patience and took off for beverages, where we met the lovely ABB and Tobias. Food and drinks for all, and the memories of the scratchy yard were soon lost.

6. HP 7. I read the entire book on Saturday (well, into Sunday morning actually). I very much enjoyed it, and that is all I will say because I don't want to give anything away to my friends who haven't finished.

7. Twins game. I went to the Twins game with my dad, Sarah, and Carolyn on Sunday. Unfortunately my team did not get the job done. Clutch hitting is lacking, and it's painful to watch at times. Also, the two guys behind us clearly should have just stayed at the office, as they only spoke about business (quite loudly) for the entire game. I feel like I should have had paper and pen ready to go so I could record stock tips. They annoyed me to no end, and I think they even annoyed my dad. I bet they don't even know who won the game. Boo to that.

8. Drinks at Lake Valusek. I met up with two school friends tonight for dinner and drinks at Lake Valusek (aka Karla's backyard with a fountain). Karla made fabulous food and mojitos, and I got to spend time with two fabulous, smart, funny, attractive women. What more can you ask for?

9. Preparing for K and D's wedding. I haven't done tons, but I've been trying to help out. I'm very excited for the big day on Friday, and again, as I said above, I'm relieved my dress fits. I better go with salads all week.

10. Trying to spend time with Sarah (and talk to her) before she leaves. I'm very much in denial about the move...thank God for cell phones (with the same service plan), IM, email, and airplanes. It's gonna be rough.

Okay, so that was obviously more than a recap. I just feel like I've been doing tons of stuff...I wish I had blogged about H and the Ps much sooner, as that experience truly was unique. Alas, I delayed and now words just don't capture the magical evening in Pershing Park.

Well, enough for tonight. Love to all my peeps!

I think I'll go to Boston - myspace post

So this weekend I'm off to Boston (Northampton really) to help Sarah find a place to live when she moves in August. It's going to be a crazy whirl wind trip, as we leave tomorrow afternoon, fly to Chicago to meet her mom, and then land in Boston a little before 11. We then pick up the rental car and drive to Northampton. Then it's non-stop apartment shopping on Saturday. I think Sarah booked about 7 appointments in a 6 hour period. I'm not sure how that's going to work, but we'll manage somehow. We then fly home mid-day Sunday. I already feel tired thinking about it!

It's too bad the trip will be so short as I love Boston. Oh well, once Sarah lives there I'm sure I'll be out there a lot. My hot straight girlfriend Hooch already said she wants to go for fall break. Woot!

On a random note, the paralegals took us out to lunch at Fogo de Chao today. It's a Brazilian steak house, and you literally can eat 15 different types of meat. You have a coaster type thing, and if you flip it to green, they keep bringing meat. At one point, I was eating yet my plate was getting fuller. It was totally nuts. They also had a full salad bar and sides. Needless to say, a severe food coma set in after that meal. If you like meat, I recommend the place. Cool experience, but a bit crazy if you think about it.

Anyway, after this summer, some of you might not recognize me as it seems I'm going to gain a massive amount of weight from all these food adventures. If you see me rolling down the street at some point, you know what happened. Seriously.

On a fun note, I also went to two Twins games this week, tickets courtesy of lawyers who couldn't use their season tickets. The seats were great and I had excellent company for each game. All in all a good week, but I'm already tired! Oh well, at least I don't have homework.

I hope everyone has an excellent weekend and that at least some dancing takes place. Adios mis amigos!
