Catching Up

So a lot has happened in the past 2+ weeks: here's the lowdown in short for:

2 weeks ago:
1) We attended the public health prom end of the year party at the Visionary Art Museum- roni and I had fun, it was cool to introduce Roni to a bunch of my students.
2) Saturday we went to Silver Spring to visit Kate and Simon and celebrate their son Liam's first birthday - hung out with Doug and Kerry, Thames and Jerome, Tom Hickey and Jim and Lily - wnet back to Jim and Lily's new crib in Takoma Park and played with Micah, Emmet, Joseph, Loren, Anya and Benjamin.
3) On Wednesday went to JHSPH graduation at the Meyerhoff.
4) Memeorial Day Weekend - Roni's birthday!! Happy Birthday sweetie! Roni is a true altruist and wanted her present to include buying a bike with training wheels for Micah - he chose a Dora the Explorer classic! As per Micah - "Daddy - Dora is my FAVORITE exploer!".
5) Saturday of Mem Day weekend- Kellen's (Micahs schoolmate) party at Linkwood Park: an off the hook affair!
6) Sunday - Micah and Emmet were overtired - no golfing in Laurel, no Sowebo Fest alas..
7) Monday- playdate with Micah;s classmate Jake in Ellicot City - a ton of fun!
8) June 2: John turns 37. Unfortunately Emmet and Micah come down with hand, foot and mouth virus and are dismissed from daycare and need be quarantined from others the entire weekend. On the good side- we had a great at home family day!
8) Weekend CD score- it WAS my 37th bday after all:

Unearthly Trance - heavy heavy doom/hardcore metal straight outta Long Island.
ZZ Top - Tres Hombres- can't forgive them for playing W's inagural ball, but their early '70s stuff is great.
Nas - Illmatic- finally got around to getting this.
Shudder to Think - Funeral At The Movies- early '90s postcore.
Ghostface Killah - Fishscale - another classic from a Wu Tang Member!
Calexico.
Black Heart Procession.

To quote the legendary Blazin Hazen:
"I've had some fun and I'm glad we met - but now it's time for me to jet"
