Quiet summer?

It seems I haven't written much this summer. That shouldn't be confused with a boring summer at all. We didn't get to Hawaii this summer but we plan to remedy that next year. And there weren't any other "big" vacations (I already wrote about Vegas). But we really had a great summer.

We went up to Boston for the 4th of July. We caught up with friends. Paul bought a house. Rachel and Sudhir are in Nepal for few months and will be moving to San Francisco when they return. Kevin and Amanda are having a baby!! So a lot is happening at "Home".

We watched the fireworks with my family and the parade the next day. I hadn't seen the parade in a few years and Needham did a great job as usual. I also started riding again which is great. I have been doing about an hour ride 2-3 times a week. The exercise has been great and I am sure my bike has enjoyed the use. Finally we worked on a summer show which was great. The show was Chess which is one of our favorite shows. The summer part was a mixed blessing. It ensured that we were home for much of the summer but of course there always seems like something more fun than rehearsal. The show came of well and it was really a great time.

We "ended" the summer with a weekend in Baltimore to watch the Red Sox play the O's. The tickets for Baltimore are very reasonably priced and it is the easiest way to watch the Sox play. Not to mention the Baltimore seems to turn into a mini Boston for Sox games. There were tons of Sox fans mulling around. The weekend went well. While the Sox blew the game Saturday they won Sunday and we left happy.

The fall should be just as fun as the summer. Hopefully I will finish the Berlin posts and provide more regular updates.
