Happy Birthday Leah

I realize that I haven't posted in a while, and since I've got a free moment at work (and when I say free, I mean no one is paying attention to me to tell me to get back to work) I thought I'd update everyone on my life.

Because my life is just that riveting.

I'm almost finished with a huge Beatles biography. It's surprisingly depressing. Those four guys had some serious issues (misogyny, STDs, the Speed, unbelievable amounts of anger). Part of me is jealous that I'm not them (Twenty years old and they owned the world), but part of me is thankful I didn't grow up in depressing England and instead had a happy comfortable childhood.


People have been coming and going from Northfield. Tom just got back, Leah went a wedding (her sister-in-law? cute!), Anne's going to a wedding, and most importantly Leah and I are going to the East coast. Not together, but our flights leave within thirty minutes of each other. So Anne, can you take us to the airport on Friday? It'll be fun and you'll get to take the morning off!

This Summer has been great, but I can't wait for everyone to get back. There's only so much time you can spend do absolutely nothing.
