Well, quiet in the sense that I finally get a Sunday when I can sit and tool around on the web, work on my Madden 2006 Superstar, and have a Kill Bill marathon. It's nice work if you can get it. With the recent pricing released for the condo in Pasadena, I have to say that it's no longer a question of living within my means or not; both Old Pas and Gaslamp are now comparably priced. As my brother likes to quote, "Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'."

I got up early yesterday for a quick 9-hole par-3 with Jason and Stanley, and while it's too early for me to say that I'm hooked, it is kind of nice to have one more hobby. I spent the rest of Saturday hanging out and Smack and Pauline's swank house in the hills near La Crescenta and Sunland. The view is great, and jousting is a lot of fun, too. It was my first experience as a full-fledged DD, and I have to say that it gave me an enormous sense of well being knowing that I was doing something nice for a bunch of friends who want to drink and not worry.

While I have everyone's attention, it was brought up during the wedding that, since all the old "crew" has moved their separate ways, instead of buying gifts for each other during the holidays, we could all organize an annual get-together, involving nice accommodations at fun locales. My first suggestion for this future reunion: Lake Tahoe! Thoughts? Suggestions?
