Since getting married (eight years and one day ago), I've maintained that the best weekend is the weekend that sees me come home from work on Friday and only leave the house for church on Sunday before leaving for work Monday morning. This might qualify me as something of a "home-body" (which, while differing in just one letter from "homeboy," has a bit of a different meaning). Be that as it may; my consciousness transcends labels, moron.
This summer, though, I'm becoming one of those people who has something happening every weekend. I don't want to be one of those people. Those people tend to go to tri-county antique shows and their nephew's out-of-state wrestling tournaments. Nevertheless, here's how my summer is shaping up.
Apr. 25: Articulate Joe's fifth birthday party in Kansas City, KS, and a Royals game in Kansas City, MO.
May 2: The Killers concert in Kansas City, KS.
May 9: Going to my brother's house an hour away for my grandparents visiting from Pittsburgh.
May 16-17: Math department luncheon and economics department evening reception. University commencement.
May 23: Train ride to Saint Louis, MO.
May 30: no plans (right now)
Jun. 6: Crazy Jane's early birthday party.
Jun. 12: Baby X's heart doctor appointment and a Royals game in Kansas City, MO.
Jun. 20: Persephone's birthday.
Jun. 26-28: Driving from Kansas to southern Utah.
Jul. 4: Still at the cabin in Utah.
Jul. 11-12: Driving home from southern Utah (and maybe a Rockies game in Denver, CO).
Jul. 18: Packing.
Jul. 25: Packing.
Jul. 31-Aug 2.: Moving from Kansas to Virginia.
This is what I imagine it's like being in the Lassen family; every weekend there are three family events you have to attend. I'd stab myself in the neck to get out of that. The good news, though, is once we're in Virginia school doesn't start until the end of August, and then I never have to worry about having time for weekend activities ever again.

Funny that you said that about the Lassen family. Yes, I wanted to stab myself in the neck when I started thinking about all the trips we have or are doing this month. We are booked every weekend April through May. I hate driving now.
Thanks for letting me know when you won't be home. Where do you stash that extra key? I don't want to have to break windows to get in.
(now if something happens to your stuff, I am in serious trouble, huh?)
JT-
I used to worry about our place being broken into while we were away, but seeing the electronics that these college students have in their apartments around town... a burglar would be stupid to break into our house and get away with a bunch of useless kid toys and a broken, non-flat panel television.
Besides, you delivered cinnamon rolls to the wrong apartment once so I'm not sure you could find us. :)
