the sun is shining!

it's a beautiful day in boston! in fact, it was a beautiful weekend. perfect weather. not too hot, not too humid, but nicely warm and sunny! it's easy to forget how dreadful the winters are when the summers are so nice. i say that today, and it's supposed to get up into the 90's tomorrow with high humidity - we'll see if i'm still singing the summer's praises!

alex and i had a very chilled out afternoon yesterday. i'm still on california time, so my sleep patterns are not back to normal yet. he had a whiffleball game with a few guys and i sat in the park and read the paper while he played. we took our time getting back - stopping off at trader joe's for some two buck chuck - and then home for laundry, our weekly shop (i'd returned to a bachelor's fridge with rotten strawberries and decaying mushrooms!) and a yummy dinner of braised lentils with ginger and lemon. (from the SF cookbook - try it if you have it - delicious!)

i could use one more weekend day to get myself organized - but nevermind. i'm now back in the thick of it and work is very busy planning for our annual EUSA conference. to be hosted this year in madrid in mid-july. sam and i are planning (and effectively leading) the two day conference, and this is her last week in the office, so we have much to do!

and as such, i must get back to work!
love to all!
