Busy Bee
Friday, July 13, 2007
I've, still, been keeping busy over the last few weeks.
I went hiking with a few friends in the Shenandoah National Park. It was a little overcast that day, but that made it better (cooler). We saw a baby black bear at the beginning of the hike. We moved away quickly...cause where there's a baby, there's always a momma. This hike was kind of difficult. We had about a mile of rock scrambles and lots of rough terrain. But it was great to reach the summit. There was a Catholic group holding mass at the summit. My friends and I just sat to the side and enjoyed a little lunch while they were chanting /praying or whatever. Here's the view:
I've also been enjoying sports as a spectator. A big group of friends went to a Mystics game. And I went to my first baseball game and soccer game. It was fun. There was lightning during the soccer game, so we were corralled in the concourse of the stadium. DC United won that game...good times. There are a bunch of rowdy soccer fans! I wonder how it will be now that Beckham is in the States.
Other activities include volunteering (a Habitat for Humanity build in the pouring rain...nice and muddy). Gave blood on the 4th of July....not smart because I couldn't drink for a few hours. ;-) A little mini golf and batting cage action. And kayaing. Here's one pic from the kayak:
I also had the chance to catch Rodrigo y Gabriela in Baltimore. They are amazing! It's crazy to see them live....I can't believe how fast their hands move! Good stuff.

But, sadly, I'll be leaving DC in a little over a week. I can't believe how fast time is slipping away. My final open mic night is this Sunday. I'll actually be co-hosting the event with my friend since Mara Levi will be performing in NYC.
Oh, and my friends are throwing me a 'surprise' going-away party today. They chose the wrong person to coordinate the event and invite me....because I can always read her face. She can't lie to me. And I hate surprises. Oh well, I guess I'll act surprised. Or just not show up...hahahaha
Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! Be safe and Have fun!
