Zach and I had what amounted to a house-warming of sorts yesterday (2.5 years late) to wish my friend Anne well as she moves to the left coast. It was also Zach's and my 5th anniversary gift to each other. We spent the day cleaning, making food, and creating a soundtrack. It was kinda fun to finally use my various glassware, cheese dome, cake pedestal, etc. We didn't want to overwhelm ourselves with too many guests, so it was a small affair. Overall, I think it turned out well, and everyone seemed to have a nice time. Talk included the LEED green-building initiative, which led, quite naturally, into discussion of dewatering of sewage. I'm sure our new friends Nancy and James thought that was pretty cool, because who doesn't love going to a party and talking about land-spreading of human waste? As I figured, we bought waaay too much alcohol and food. Not to worry, though, because Zach and I will make quick work of the leftovers! My new favorite song, which was featured on last night's soundtrack is O.A.R.'s "Love and Memories".

The coming weeks should be exciting. Tuesday we're going to watch DC's High Heel Drag Race (it has nothing to do with cars), I have a Halloween party Friday night (I'm furiously procrastinating on finishing my bee costume), and I found out that one of my Krakow teammates is a former-Soviet-state Olympic figure skater.
