Cards, An Anniversary, Yoga, etc.
I went down to Germantown last night to play cards with KB, Ann, Chris and Conrad. The five of us haven't hung out for a few months, so we had a good time talking (about relationships, parenting, religion and Barry Manilow), drinking margaritas, snacking on all kinds of munchies, and playing Spades and Euchre. (Conrad and I are still undefeated at Euchre. Yeah, we rock.) It was a lot of fun, but I learned that I'm getting too old to stay out until 4:00 AM.
Today is my parents' 39th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, my mom is recovering from a particularly nasty flu, so their celebration consisted of an evening at home, watching War of the Worlds. My day consisted of a long walk with Ernie, a trip to PetSmart for various doggie necessities, and not much else. For some reason, I've been feeling anxious and antsy all day and haven't been able to concentrate on anything. I dug out one of my Yoga videos tonight, thinking that might help, but it didn't. However, it did remind me how much I enjoy Yoga and that I should do it more often.
KB and I had a chat tonight about the vacation we're planning for September. We've been considering a trip to South Padre Island, but lately I've been questioning my desire to go there. Originally, a beach vacation sounded like a good idea for a long weekend, but now that we've decided to extend it to five days, I'm not so sure. I brought up the possibility of Las Vegas. Although I'm not one for gambling, I wouldn't mind relaxing and reading by a pool in the desert, seeing Cirque De Soleil, and making a side trip to the Grand Canyon. Plus, Lee has accepted a teaching position at UNLV and will be moving there in August, so there's the added convenience of having him as a host. After our discussion tonight, I've come to the conclusion that SPI is a good destination after all.
Tomorrow, I'll be going to the America Sings! concert at Strathmore:

Tomorrow, I'll be going to the America Sings! concert at Strathmore:
This fast-paced, 90-minute concert will feature more than 300 singers in a kaleidoscope of choral music from the Revolutionary War to the present by significant American choral composers. The concert features a variety of ensembles that will perform on stage and throughout the concert hall, drawing talent from some of the most outstanding choruses, chorus leaders, and composers in this country.A kaleidoscope of choral music? Not sure what that means, but it should be fun. And, hey, the tickets were free.
