Another Sunny Saturday

After a rainy, stormy Friday evening the sun has returned for a Saturday in which I have much to accomplish and still some fun to to be had. Last evening was fantastic in that it was one of the more relaxing nights I've had around here in a few monthes. I enjoyed my specialty beef stroganoff and then capped it off with a few episodes of Law and Order, avoided an electric fire and rolled into bed around midnight. I feel quite recharged now and am ready to go knock out a few papers (wishful thinking) and then have a slightly more entertaining night this evening. It undoubtedly will be more action-packed because it kicks off with dinner at Pete's with Ben and Erin's return to South Carolina. The more I think about it, there is too much fun packed into this day to facilitate the writing of these papers, but I know I need to force myself into about an hour or two of that nonsense. Our brave Paladins seek out their third straight rugby national championship at noon and I have to catch Nick shrugging off doctor's orders to play on fractured heels...what a champion.
Next weekend promises even more thrills as it will bring about the big 21 for this guy. It then kicks off a fortnight of ridiculousness as the next weekend is the infamous Beach Weekend where Furman University decides to come alive for three days. Hopefully Jimmy will have better luck with the "double whammy" this time around. Also, as long as we are not housed in the Sea Gypsy, I think I'll be okay. That is followed by a sprint home on the weekend of the 13th to catch Carbon Leaf that night at Town Point Park in what WillBChap promises me is "BeerFest" weekend in Norfolk. This should be an opportunity to see some folks before I take off again for the last couple weeks of school and then a month on the emerald isle. So that is what is on tap here to go along with all the work and that nonsense of learning. There will surely be birthday updates after this weekend to share for everyone's enjoyment, but hopefully not to the extent of Adam's air guitar experience.
