I should have written this earlier.

But instead I got the flu. Sorry.

No, really I am. Was sucky.

Last weekend PB and I traveled down to Raleigh for two reasons. One, my friend Stewie turned 40 on Friday and there was a party. Who doesn’t love a party? It was a fabulous good time, although I was not as impressed with the Pim’s as everyone else was.

Saturday we took it kind of easy. Met a friend for lunch, headed out to A Southern Season (I’ve missed it! The friend too, but I've seen her more recently), shopped for a new shirt for PB (he’d only packed one), and then headed back to the hotel for a nap.

That night, we went to see my Hurricanes play. We had the best seats I’ve ever had for a hockey game. The game was a good one. The play was sloppy, but it went into overtime, so it was exciting. The people in our row were cool. And the Canes won. Yay! (They’ve lost the next two, but still remain ahead of the Thrashers in the standings.)

Sunday we met some other friends for brunch. We got to the restaurant first, and the waitress went into a lengthy speech about how it was closing in November. We broke the news to her that we were from out of town when it looked like she would never stop.

Then we came home and went to a Superbowl party. And the Packers won!
