I have been on a mini-vacation for the past few days. Six glorious days away from the office. Wonderful. I went to my parent's house in Newport for a couple of days. Forgot my camera alas. It was nice. I went to the beach for a little while. Thankfully the towny beach wasn't crowded at all. Did some grilling and watched a whole lot of Olympics. I introduced my mother to the pleasures of Project Runway. Good times.
Came back and celebrated a friends birthday on Saturday. Movie and dinner which was a drunken good time. The movie, "Bottle Shock," was just okay. Nothing spectacular. There were actual moments that were sweet and then moments that were painful. The script was particularly awful and trite. But Alan Rickman is always a joy to watch. He just wasn't in the film enough to bring it to a decent level. But dinner and a whole lot of drinks at the B-Side was a perfect way to push the movie out of my mind.
Sunday I went for a walk around town with W & J. We did the loop through the North End and over to the ICA. I hadn't seen the completed Kennedy Greenway. It was pretty cool. People were actually using it too!
Yesterday I cleaned out the storage room. Blech. Dirty and hot and annoying but now it is done. I am lugging it all to Goodwill today.
Might do a walkthrough of the Harvard Museums this afternoon.
We'll see what happens. Maybe some grilling tonight if the weather holds.
