From the archives: a picture from summer 2005

Hanging with the boys at the Yorktown Pub

I recently pulled a few pictures from other people’s websites…this was one of them. There were many more pictures taken during this trip to the Yorktown Pub but this is the only one I ever saw. The photographer never published the rest of the pictures online…which is a real shame as it was me & 8 boys…imagine the silliness. I was obviously having a good time.
Anyway, I have no excuses for not posting and/or writing emails. I did close the restaurant for seven nights in a row…but that’s not an excuse. If it’s any consolation, I haven’t been knitting either. I have done a little reading…for the first time in many many months.
I’m waiting to see how work goes with the loss of one of the managers for a while. It should be fine…we kind of had an extra one since the outside restaurant closed. Now we don’t have an extra one. I’ll actually feel useful at work again.
I’m also planning on a week of vacation at the end of February. I’m not doing anything too exciting. I think we’re going to spend a couple of nights in Philadelphia as I want to see the King Tut exhibit. I think we’ll spend a night in Baltimore as well because Patrick’s never been to the National Aquarium. I haven’t been in easily a dozen years…I feel like I went sometime during college but I might be imagining that. This will be the first trip to anywhere that I’ve taken since January 2004 when I went to Hawaii. I should take a real vacation but I don’t feel like planning that much.
I’ve taken over Patrick’s XM radio as he never uses it and it’s paid for through August. I like it. Even with my mp3 player and the 6000+ songs on it, I tend to listen to the same playlist over and over again. XM will force me to listen to a little broader range of music. I’ve also started listening to XM online at home. Also cool.
