a little irish pub never hurt anyone

Last night, I met up with my friend (and yours), *S*, of Big Yellow fame. She is currently winging her way to Taiwan for 6 weeks, but stopped through Woo last night for dinner. O'Connor's is my favorite restaurant in the area. It's a pub that's been here for ages and one that I discovered while I was in college. The menu is huge and absolutely delicious. Though everything appeals to me, I usually fall back on the old sea scallops, as I did last night. *S* and I caught up for the first time in ages, tucked back in a corner, surrounded by old Irish sayings, keg taps and Irish directional signs adorning the walls. The pub is actually quite big, but they have divided it up nicely so that every room feels small and private.

I am ready for a break. The last week of June, I'm off to NC (the Outer Banks) for a week and I can hardly wait. A week at the beach with many a cousin sounds just right! We have an event next Thursday evening in Boston for work, then I'm pretty much free and clear for 10 days.

kris, the winddown of the school year sounds pretty intense. from 2nd graders to college graduates: your experiences and observations span the whole education system and students.

your trip to nc sounds perfect. i hope you have a great time.

i assume work will be slower over the summer--is that right?

kj--It will slow down very little. We are closing a major $200 million capital campaign at the end of this month. The fall will be full of campaign close events and reports, so summer is prep time. All interesting though!

A--have you been before? I love it down there--good waves!
