The Found Weekend
Man, last weekend was just swell. I won't go into too many obnoxious details, but let's just run through a brief re-cap.
Friday--Got my window fixed, now the front two roll down all the way! Yeah! Then Friday night Nate, Jen, and I attended the Providence Roller Derby downtown. Such a great way to spend a few hours, watching this crazy, intense sport.
Saturday--Rainy day, spent the morning watching The Goonies on DVD; spent the afternoon listening to a nice mix of falling rain/Lyle Lovett while I catched up on e-mails. Saturday night the rain cleared up and Kathleen and I went to the zoo for a fundraiser (so much {free} food & drink!) and saw us some animals/wealthy people.
Sunday--a sermon introduced a new--and important--concept into my life: "Godly sorrow" and then, starting that afternoon a quick 24 hour trip to Block Island. Block Island is south of here, in between Rhode and Long Island, about an hour by ferry; I went with Audra and some of her friends from her year as a NCCC Team Member. Sunday night it was cold, gray, and rainy, but
Monday-- was beautiful. Sun shining, 70 degrees; I rented a bike and spent all day exploring the island. I finally had my camera and not just my cellphone, so I'll upload pictures sometime this week. Of course pics aren't the only thing I have to show from my day away from the office (stupid sunburn in hard-to-reach places)
All in all though, not a bad way to spend a few days. Plus Monday night I attended a concert with Kristen Cifelli, Liz Stahler, and a few other really cool talented musicians. It was so strange spending the day relatively alone on an island and then coming back to life right in the heart of a major city...as I sit here in Starbucks and update my blog. Hahaha...hmmm...well, you know. ¶ 6/28/2006 05:51:00 PM
