Tina, come get your food!

The title of this post has nothing to do with its content. This top-shelf weather allowed for some rare outdoor and indoor-with-windows-open activities. Friday night was Jaron's birthday celebration at the WST in Brookline, where Ali matched the waitress broken glass-for-broken glass, Jaron looked like a 40-year-old hobo, and Jill and I yawned our way through a not-so-late night out.

Saturday was a clean-the-house-for-company day, as Jill and I dusted, she cleaned the floors, and I cleaned the newt tank in anticipation of our dinner guests from Somerville and down the street, Kate, Matt, and Linda. We ate Jill's salmon and played Facts in Five (which I'm finding harder to enjoy) and Hoopla (which is quickly becoming one of my favorite board games).

Sunday was a yardwork and fringers day, beginning with leaf-raking in Framingham and graduating to hamburgers, frisbee baseball, and Ben & Jerry's in Brookline.

Congratulations to Melvin Mora and the Orioles, who took two of three from the Y*****s this weekend and clunked Carl Pavano in the head with a comebacker. I hope you've got a nice welt, Carl.
