When we decided to move to the East Coast, we did so for many reasons - professional pursuits, personal interests, and proximity. One of the things we'd be close to was/is friends. Since we're neighbors now, it seemed neighborly to pop down to DC for a Halloween party and overnight at Anthony and Elizabetta's. We left Saturday morning (after I got a PA driver's license, what a scene) in cold and rain and arrived in mid-afternoon sun. We kicked back on the deck and saw their honeymoon pictures. Later in the evening - with empanadas in our stomach - we headed to the party at Chris and Erin's house. It's funny how your network branches out, but somehow we're becoming friends with Chris and Erin and that's pretty fun. Sunday we took it easy, which is a luxury only neighbors of proximity can afford, and had a big, traditional Uruguayan Sunday meal before heading back to the Valley.
Tonight, after yet another busy day, we left from Knoll to head south and get hardware and other house stuff. Jenelle toured the office on the way home, when the file arrived electronically, and was impressed by my roomy workspace in the middle of a corner. At home there was work, some furnace troubleshooting (unsuccessful, blast!), and cat-running. And finally blogging and sleep.
