Dear Blog,
Well, this past weekend was Memorial Day Weekend, which meant an extra day off of work, and that everyone and their brother was headed down to the Cape for fun in the sun.
And it was sunny. It's been beautiful, in fact, for quite a while up here. A few times the temperature has creeped into the low 90s, but for the most part the weather has been most pleasant day in and day out. In fact, the forecast calls for temperatures in the 70s for most of the rest of the week. This is the weather we've been waiting all throughout that awful winter for.
Anyway, most of the Fadden tree was around for the weekend. My folks' place had the cookout on Saturday, with all of the Memorial Day weekend cookout staples - hamburgers, hot dogs, cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad, grilled chicken, and, of course, lots of booze. On Sunday we went to Aunt Martha's house in Falmouth, which is undergoing some renovations, but is almost done. Then Monday passed by relatively uneventfully.
On Tuesday night, before I went to work, Kait's friend Kelly called us and asked us if we wanted to go to trivia night at a pub right by our apartment. We had been going to the Ground Round in Chelmsford on Thursdays for trivia night, and we had heard about this other one, but we hadn't been yet. We tried to get ahold of Geoff, but couldn't. It turned out that he was already on his way, with his brother and no fewer than 6 other friends, but we didn't find this out until we were well into the contest. Much to our delight, we ended up winning the game on the last two questions - we were tied with Geoff's team going into the final round - and with it we took home a $50 gift certificate to the pub, not to be used on Tuesdays. So, we returned there for dinner last night (we all have arrangements for tonight and tomorrow night). It was standard pub fare, but you have to like eating almost for free, right? Tonight, trivia night is at the Ground Round, where Kait, Geoff, Mark, and I won last week. That means that my sister and I are currently one-half of the defending champion teams at the trivia nights of both establishments.
Tomorrow night, Kait's best friend Megan is flying in from Maryland with her husband. They'll be spending the night here and then driving down to the Cape, but as I'll be at work when they arrive and probably won't be back from breakfast until after they leave for the Cape, I won't see them until Saturday evening, when I get down there. It'll be good to see them - they are two of the most pleasant people I know.
Ok, sports tomorrow, I hope. Till then...
