Well, I was going to talk about our weekend, but I couldn't ignore the 18 inning NLDS classic played today between the Astros and the Braves. The Astros finally won the game 7-6 on a home run by Chris Burke (who had run for Lance Berkman back in the 10th.) The 'Stros had gone into the 9th down 6-5 and tied the score on a home run by Brad Ausmus. There was no more scoring until Burke's home run, which made a winner of none other than Roger Clemens, who had pitched three scoreless innings in relief.

Fairly quiet weekend. Yesterday we went to an event hosted by the the Korean Student Association at Tufts University. The kids have been involved in a Big Brother/Big Sister relationship with two students there for the past four years; the students are seniors and we have been with them since they were freshmen. It's nice that the kids have some older Korean role models to interact with. The whole experience has been really valuable for all of us.

Today was pretty quiet as well. J. had a birthday party and I took R. to lunch and bowling. We had a good time and it was a nice low key activity.

The one afteraffect of my surgery seems to be that my scar is really itchy this time, much more so than after the first surgery. It got really nasty when we were in Trader Joe's after going out to dinner this evening. It was so bad, I suggested to A. that Lord Voldemort might be in the area, but she doubted that was the case.

Coming Tuesday, a major post reflecting on the 30th anniversary of one of the major turning points of my life. Be here!
