Two-fer Tuesday

Here are two media clips related to the Sox. First, a video that is appropriate as it is storming really bad outside. Second, my favorite Sox related song ever.* Yes, even more favorite than that Caroline song.


* NOTE: "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" does not count!

what weekend?

The weekend was a blur. Jenn and I spent most of it running from here to there fulfilling commitments. I like weekends with more downtime. But I do like the results of the weekend. We have a location and date for the wedding, we've mapped out our next wedding tasks, and we are making good progress on the guest list. I just wish there had been a little more just sitting around doing nothing.

By contrast, work today has been insane. A quiet, intern-less day turned into e-mails flying back and forth and two "very important" meetings being plopped on my calendar. Class tonight and somewhere between now and Wednesday another paper is due. Thankfully the final paper was canceled in that class... I'm not sure I would have survived!

Okay, enough whining and back to work... ho hum...

And the winner is...

Wedding Site #5! The Essex Conference Center and Retreat!

Odd name for a wedding site, but I think that's about the only negative it comes with. The grounds are beautiful!! It's very quiet and peaceful. There is a nice pond and some really great artwork throughout. The wedding rental is for practically all of Saturday and Sunday, so Jenn and I will have plenty of time to chill with all of our guests. The inclusion of accommodations for at least 39 and camping possibilities nearly sealed the deal, but I think it was the fire pit that put us over the top!

It's a little more expensive than we had hoped, but that's mostly because it's a two day affair. And the guest list will be limited, so we still need to work that out. But I'd say it's pretty much a done deal that Jenn and I will be married here on June 20, 2009!
