so another good weekend; almost summer.

it always good to help friends celebrate promotions; especially when you some day hope to move 'up' yourself. it gives a glimmer of hope for corporate culture and organization. plus i was able to make some excellent chicken-mole themed appetizers; which were quite good.

of course celebrating until the wee hours of the morning is always best followed by awakening at 6:30, driving 30-odd minutes, and playing a soccer game in the morning humidity. but it is a great way to begin a day; especially when i can anchor a defense that keeps a clean sheet and goes on to win 3-0. oddly enough the late night - early morning activity make for a forced relaxing afternoon and added incentive to sit by a pool, cool off, and relax. the height of the afternoon was visiting our semi shut-in friends and grilling with them and some of their relatives.

now we return to work; it should be a productive week full of the usual things. hopefully something new and unusual as well.
