Robyn and I had a great weekend. I think this past 4 days have been some of the most relaxing “vacation” time I’ve had in quite some time. Since we’ve had something to do pretty much every weekend since Memorial Day, this was some welcome down time.

On Friday we went down to Red Bank to see [url=http://www.stephenlynch.com/]Stephen Lynch[/url]. You may have heard of him – he’s part musician, part comedian and writes some very funny songs about some pretty sick subjects. Robyn really likes his stuff, so I had gotten tickets for her birthday and we went down on Friday and saw the show. We had a great time – both at the show and watching all the people who were attending the show.

After I taught class on Saturday, we went to Chris and Toni’s and hung out with several friends and had some great “weekend food”. Chris grilled up some tasty burgers!

On Monday we slept in and then hung around in the morning and afternoon. Around 4, we went to my brother-in-law’s place for some more holiday festivities. We both ate waaaay too much, but we had fun.

Yesterday, we both took the day off from work and we decided to go to Lake Hopatcong to chill out. Since it’s after Labor Day, we didn’t have to pay to get in, but we couldn’t swim. Luckily, there were very few people there (it was a weekday afterall!) so we set out a blanket and just read and watched the boats and the few people who were there. It was really nice. The weather’s been absolutely gorgeous, so it was the perfect day. After that we went home, made some dinner and watched “Million Dollar Baby” with Clint Eastwood, Hillary Swank and Morgan Freeman. Not a bad film. I must admit that it was a bit predictable at times and sort of depressing.
