I am presently easting something called broad beans, which I incorrectly assumed were the Australian name for Lima beans. Broad beans are no such thing. They taste bitter and somehow sweaty at the same time. This is what I imagine is all the serfs had to eat in feudal times. They are completely gross. I am eating them anyway.
This week was busy at work and I didn’t do much more than work and go to Team Box practice on Thursday night. Practice was okay, we played 500, which I am terrible at and some 4 on 4 and then went out for beers. It was a good time.
On Friday I called my sister from work when I had a lucky meeting cancellation. Lindy has been sick and they have a septic system overhaul underway but I think they will all be okay. I am reminded that my vows to never own a home or breed are wise.
This morning I got up early and headed over to the Crown casino to try to see the Hoyas game. Tip off was 7:27 PM Friday east coast time, so 10:27 AM Saturday morning here. I was in the casino hoping that the sports book would help me out. No dice. They were showing horse racing, last nights women’s springboard diving and the Miami Heat down by 20 to the Indiana Pacers. Great. I went home to watch ESPN gamecast refresh every 30 seconds and my Mom called with play by play. Just as well that I wasn’t watching the game, it would have been too much for me. Georgetown trailed most of the game and was down 1 with 7 seconds to go. They won it at the buzzer with a 2 point jumper. Next up UNC. Look out!
I spent the rest of the day running around the royal botanical garden and running errands and such is the thrilling, non-stop action life of a world traveler such as myself. I got the dry cleaning.
Now, I am exhausted and I am going back to sleep.
