Last week wasn't particularly noteworthy, except that we signed up to host a German exchange teacher. For three weeks, starting and ending in late October. If you are keeping score at home, that means she arrives next Sunday and stays for the rest of the month. We know she has a name and a busy schedule while she's here. Hopefully none of the new info we'll learn after her arrival is shocking.

The weekend was noteworthy, though. Saturday was the annual marital tension of UM/MSU in gridiron action, which featured the annual 4th quarter collapse of MSU, resulting in the annual overtime, and concluding in the (second) annual 'MSU wins!'. In the evening we packed up and went to Easton for an evening with David Sedaris. He was funny and satirical and insightful, in addition to just being a plain white dude at a lecturn. Terrific. Afterwards we went to Ocean for small plates and martinis and feeling as if we lived in a big city, all of which were delightful. Sunday was Chestnut Hill's art fair, which just didn't have much in the way of art, though a cool town packed with tents and vendors and bands on a gorgeous October day is not something you should miss.
