surfside

it seems that visiting surfside has a few set-in-stone events that correspond with it:

1) belen will have some sort of dentistry Event (in 2006, it was wisdom tooth yank recovery . this year, emergency day at the dentist for a crown)

2) there will be a car adventure (2006 – driving through a muddy ditch to escape a traffic jam, almost getting stuck and david pulling it off just when we had all concluded DOOM. 2008 – shredded back passenger tire and a pause to put on the full-sized spare….what IS it with the tire fun this trip??)

3) there will be torrential rains on the way home. thankfully, this year *i* wasn’t driving it. no one wants that, as i aptly proved in 2006.

aside from that, it was a lovely visit. it was good to see adam and how well he is doing for himself. i swear, surfside will make him the mayor in 2 years. (i am really not joking). and his beachhouse that he gets to call home is really lovely. the weekend was full of good food, lots of napping, a couple of bundled-up beach walks and happy gaming.

the epic moment of the visit, however, was the s’mores. not just because we were using ghirardelli dark chocolate to make them, but because due to a lack of pokey things to skewer marshmellows with, they were roasted on…(wait for it)…fencing foils! it was charming beyond words.

the coming week will be busy, but good. its likely i get to see my sister for some portion of spring break and work continues to ramp up. i think my leg is back to a place where i can go back to yoga. today, i think i’ll do a home practice and see how it feels.
