Hot Fun in the Summertime

It was a very warm weekend here in Boston; I guess summer is finally here. (Woo hoo!) It was also a busy one for me. Among the highlights, I spent part of Saturday on the Common with Amy, Amy, and John. It was another one of our 'stravaganzas — this one was dubbed the MarcottMartinStravaganza, in honor of our birthdays. Usually we have brunch and go bowling, but because of the weather, we opted for an outdoor activity. Thankfully, we found a shady spot for our picnic that kept us cool.

Sunday I hung out with one of my favorite kids, Judah B., while Karen and David packed (or prepared to pack) for their move on Wednesday. Then, master chef that I am, I made a lasagne for Sarah and Amy (a different Amy) that actually came out really well and made our third dinner together (we rotate apartments with the host cooking the main dish) the best yet. I don't ever cook — in my four-plus years in this apartment, this was the first time I'd had people over for dinner — and I was quite pleased with how well I did. You might even say I now have another culinary specialty. (Or you might not.) And then Entourage was really good. And of course, the Sox swept Atlanta. So, a great weekend. Why do they always feel so short?
