new things

Kara has been bundled off to Thailand, and is either sleeping or dining on Pad Thai as we speak. Actually, sleeping; I just checked the time difference. They are 11 hours ahead of us, so it's just after midnight there as I write this. I hope she is having a good time.

It's interesting not having her around, since she has been here the entire time I've lived in Boston. Now I get to experience what it's like living in this city and not having her around.

The weekend was good; MJP was in town. I didn't get around to picking up the motorcycle--I'm doing that after work tonight--but I did cross a lot of things off my list of places to check out. We hit Game On! in Fenway to watch the Syracuse game on Saturday, then later went out to Village Smokehouse for a BBQ dinner, and then had drinks at Matt Murphy's. Murphy's wasn't what I expected. They are supposed to be a great place to hear live music, but the place is tiny, and the decor is more traditional Irish pub in Ireland (as opposed to an American Irish pub) than someplace you would think of when going to see a band.

So, that was fun. I didn't really do anything yesterday but catch up on sleep, and I have to admit, I feel good and well-rested now. I owe Matt a birthday call and a gift, and I have to go shopping for Mom too. Happy birthday Matt! Hope your interview is going well...

On Wednesday I'm heading out to BU. I'm excited about that, and I hope I like their program. I think I'm most in favor of going there for various reasons that don't relate to the program precisely--the name recognition and the location--and I hope that the program is up to par.

Anyway, things are moving along, I'm crossing things off my list. I'm glad I got a chance to do and see some new things.
