Improving fuel economy
My big boss has chosen to improve his fuel consumption by leaving the Chevy Suburban in the garage and driving the Porsche to work instead.

Celtics just won...
...and my neighbors are throwing off fireworks.
Congratulations Boston Celtics! An unbelievable 131-92 victory over the LA Lakers in the NBA finals...first time since 1986.
I'm kind of a "Pink Hat" when it comes to these guys-you know the Sox are my team. But wow, they just dominated all season and played like the team they are. Just like the Sox in 04 and 07 they played like a team.
This is truly the pinnacle of Boston sports. Red Sox win the World Series, Patriots in the Superbowl (lost, but had an undefeated season), and the Celtics win the NBA finals.
Aw and now Paul Pierce has been named MVP. So happy for this guy-he's been here forever and aside from the dubious miracle on causeway street where he vaulted out of a wheelchair to lead the team to a win in game 1, he's been a class guy and a leader in this series.
Gotta go now, there's been a drought in basketball trophies around here. Gotta make sure our cars don't get tipped over!

Over the weekend...
Oddest thing we saw over the weekend...a poetry reading during the Red Sox game at a sports bar.
...we went to the Summer Shack in Cambridge on Friday eve for some seafood (yummy lobstah roll). Decided to take the ferry to Provincetown on Cape Cod on Saturday (scene of the above-mentioned crime). You KNOW there are things you'll see going on in P-Town that you don't see in your normal everyday lives when you're straight and relatively sheltered. The Red Sox poetry reading was one of them, and a bearded 71-year-old transvestite singing through a karaoke machine was the other.
Aside from these particular oddities, it really was absolutely spectacular weather and made for a really nice day out. We wandered through the pretty town, which is also known for its art galleries and shops, got sand on our feet for the first time this summer, relaxed with some bevvies at a restaurant overlooking the harbor, shopped a little (new beach hat and shades!), and feasted on some righteous fried clams at the Townsend Seafood place. Only 5 tables and a bar-like thing to sit at there, definitely a good sign. Seafood both nights on the weekend makes me happy!
Good thing we made the most of the beautiful day. Sunday was cold and wet and we both had to do some work. A big change from our 1-day vacation to the Cape!

99 degrees and a man in a skirt
Actually, I've really liked these last few hot-hot-hot days. It's been sunny and really not too humid around these parts. My workplace is about 59 degrees which is a full 40 degrees cooler than outside, which makes my fingers to cold to type on the computer and utilize my genius in Excel, but other than that it's been great! Sit outside for a nice long time in the evenings, etc.
Today on the drive home from work, I saw a man wearing a polo style shirt paired with a red corduroy knee-length skirt. He seemed perfectly comfortable. I always have to figure out why someone did something - what was the reason? For the rest of my drive home, I thought about this. I to the conclusion that this man has a "No shorts" dress code at work. What do you think? Randy thinks he lost a bet.

What did we do this weekend?
Planted my garden and deck with flowers (it's all gorgeous this year), and Randy built a lamp my mom got us for Christmas to put on the deck too. We went to dinner for sushi and garlic chicken on Friday then went to a bar where the band we wanted to see wasn't going to start till 11 so we left 'cause we're old, then bumped into one co-worker each at a different bar (they were under 30, we, ahem, aren't) Played some 80's hits on the jukebox though, and laughed. Grilled outside 3 times (hamburglers, chicken, steak, all with veg; nothing burned), went for a 2.5 hour bike ride through Cambridge and Harvard Square then on to Boston and back, switched my wardrobe from winter to summer, did 10 loads of laundry, donated old clothes to charity (well, almost, they're in a pile waiting to go), watched the Red Sox lose 3 times and the Celtics win once. Slept a lot, finally unpacked my suitcase from the Peru and Ecuador trip, did some work so Tuesday won't be torture, drank a couple homemade margaritas and pisco sours, got a little tan on our arms, painted my toenails, and changed the toilet paper roll twice. Awesome weather here in MA, no locals around here in Boston, just us and some tourists. Great weekend! Hope yours was great also! ;-)
Oh and I'm still on the GD glasses. Thank goodness I got the prescription sunglasses. Back on contact Thursday I think!!
