hydro doesn't approve of my lame-o post about the weekend.  his point in the comments is that a lot happened over the weekend that i didn't mention.  that's true.  but that's always true.  sometimes its hard to blog when nothing happened.  but it's even harder to blog when a lot happened and you simply don't feel like telling a long and rather pointless tale.  but, just so no one can ever say that we are rubber hose are not thinking of our dear readers, here is a brief incoherent summary of my weekend activities (blame hydro if you don't like it):
there was: drama, pathos, lost keys (NMP), stranded dogs, a complicated move, 2 films, air conditioning, lack of air conditioning, meals with neighbors, friends, a few sisters and a rabbi.  there was also baseball, lots of fireworks (in 2 different states), little arabic studying, too many donuts, illicit alcohol, dancing celery, stubborn fires, dying tomatoes, canceled innertubes, and non-canceled innertubes. more lightning than we wanted, but in the end, less than we expected. and last weekend i realized for the very first time that betty boop's real name is elizabeth.
all-in-all a good weekend.  i just didn't think about politics much.  which was all i was trying to say below.
