Week in review

This was quite a week. Malachi went in for his EEG (read Sara's blog for more info) on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday he was admitted to the hospital (again, read Sara's blog). He was discharged on Thursday after all his tests were clear.

Thursday night we went to a restaurant downtown D.C. called Marrakesh. About 50 members of my orientation class (+ families) shared a private room for a 3-hour, 7-course Moroccan feast, complete with belly dancers (not being eaten). After everything that happened in the previous two days, it was nice to get out and relax.

The movers finally came with our air baggage. That's 600 lbs of our stuff from Dallas that wouldn't fit in the car--things like clothes, kitchen stuff, a lot of Malachi's toys--useful things. Unfortunately, there has been some kind of mix-up, and they delivered some boxes that were supposed to be in storage. So we got Sara's wedding dress instead of our wearable clothes. Oh well.

Last night (Friday) was poker night at a classmates' place. It's really been a privilege getting to know my colleagues. I'm humbled every day by their knowledge, skills, and experience. Oh, I was out first from poker (bye bye $20), but joined in some of the other games (Apples to Apples, Mad Gab, Wii).

Ok, gotta stop; we're running out to the door to the zoo!

  1. This is interesting. I've never hear Flower Duet done like it is on Marakesh's website. Check out this version which is probably the best know. It's very different. One of my favorite songs.
