Lots going on. Fabulous vacation to Germany! Flew into Berlin, rented a car and drove through Germany (autobahn=awesome, btw), finished up in fabulous Munich. Man we needed the break and had an awesome time. Pictures from Berlin are posted here . More are coming and I'll post those links too! On the other hand, my Sweet One has accepted a 6 month assignment to London, so he flew there at the end of our vacation, and I came home. Got a week or two with him beginning Saturday, then he's off across the pond until at least the new year. There will be visits both ways, but it's not the same as having him here! OK yeah I'm a little sorry for myself, but I'm also really, really excited for him too. I have to go across the Atlantic to visit my live-in beau!

Cute kids make people happy. This one is super cute. Make our friends Charlie and Stella happy and give views to their Babytv dancing contest video. Also witness the complete takeover of toys in the household. :-)

Is this the face of a murderer? My cat Emmie has killed two bumblebees in two days. Today she tried to murder another one. Title of post is courtesy of my sweet one, who has been collecting the carcasses.

It's been an awesome birthweek, and today's the big day. I am 35. Again, but I'm not sayin' how many times I've actually been 35. First, Randy scored the tickets to the Red Sox game on Friday (post below). Gorgeous night and a fun game. Saturday I saw my friend Carolyn, who I've known since the old UMass Amherst days. We had some lunch, then went to the Boston Marathon health and fitness expo, then hung out at the house for a few hours, talking and looking at old pics. The Boston Marathon was Monday, so I worked Sunday so I could go watch it with my work crew. It's one of my company's biggest events - the greatest race in the world, right in our back yard - and we make running shoes and apparel. We had a barbeque, games, and a cheering section at mile 19.5 in Newton. Man those people are hardcore; all 26,385 of them. Last night, I went to see Bruce Springsteen with my mom (we bought each other tickets for our birthday presents) and my friend Karen.

Totally freaky to wake up at 3:30am, three hours after getting back from the Sox game, to discover this happening on my street. Big fire trucks, flashing lights everywhere. I had to go outside to find out what was going on or I never would've gotten back to sleep. Fortunately the first thing I found out was that everyone was OK! And it is good to know the hydrant across the street is actually functional. I'm never gonna park too close to the corner again.
