A little R&R

I returned Thursday night from a week in Lexington, MA. Very nice as usual, relaxing, good to see the fam and any friends I could locate. I spent some good times with Mithu (and Ella, her cat), Sarah McKeever, Molly and Steve, Pete and Bekkah, and my mom, dad, and Kate. I got new golf clubs which are going to be ready in a few weeks. I'm telling you, some of the woods (which are actually metal) are as big as my head. The drivers have just gotten laughingly enormous. So I got to bring those along when I played a round of golf with my dad. I think I had about 3 pars, not bad for only playing once a year.

I saw "Mad Hot Ballroom" but won't make the comparison to "Spellbound". See it.

Didn't attend any Sox games, but did get to watch them on TV whenever I desired. Can't beat that.

Went to a vigil to support Cindy Sheehan and hold candles around the Frog Pond on Boston Common.

And on the plane ride home, I had a seat right next to someone else in my program who is from Boston and had just been back to check out potential wedding spots, since she just got engaged in May. We both lamented going back to STL after being in Boston again. Another person who was on my flight was the ex-boyfriend of Kia's twin sister, Kristin. He is from St. Louis but works in Boston now. Kia ran into him in baggage claim. The coincidences just keep on coming.

On a tangential note, I just took some stuff that I got for free in the mail. It's called "Up Time Herbal supplement," and their slogan is apparently "Perfecting the Power to Achieve". I'm not sure what - if anything - it's supposed to do, but Kia predicts that it will have some deliterious effect on my digestive system. Only time will tell.
