Well, as I start the summer I decided to start blogging for the first time too. This summer is the first I have had free since I started teaching in 2002. Each summer, Neil and I have either moved across country or I have been in graduate school full time. I miss writing, and all the cool kids were doing it... I figured, "Why the hell not?" Thanks to my buddy JME for all the blogging advice...
The beginning of Summer 09 was amazing. Lauren and I spent Friday morning and afternoon at the pool in her complex, just hanging out and chatting. Then, we went to the Montgomery Gentry concert in town with Neil and our friend Reece that night. Neil's brand, VAULT, is endorsed by MG, so we enjoyed backstage passes and great seats. Even though it was in boonedocks and Lauren and I were hit on by rednecks, we had a great time. And polished off four bottles of wine in one day. Awesome.
Saturday and today were spent basically around the house. We have Reece as a house guest until his hot water heater gets fixed, and we went to FLIP burger yesterday for drinks and dinner. FLIP was started by one of the Top Chef alums, but I cant remember which right now. Today, we all slept in and went to see Angels and Demons. It was different from the book, but a more artful edit than DiVinci in my book.
Tomorrow, Neil has his final injection before surgery, according to the doctor. I will ask as nurse and driver for the event, but my main job will be limiting Neil when he tries to get up and moving before he should. I will spend the morning reading and waiting and will update this new endeavor tomorrow afternoon.
