That was fun

This weekend we had a full house again at the beach. The husband's former co-worker DR and his boyfriend PF took the train out with me Friday afternoon. We had roadies for the ride. When we got there we went grocery shopping and skipped tea. I was responsible for dinner and the three of us drank a lot of wine while I made dinner. The husband got out there in time to join us for dinner. We then hopped in the pool and after we went off to the ubderwear party at the lounge at the harbor. I have only been to it twice before. I noticed one change- they now are showing porn videos during the party. We got home and then went skinny dipping.

Saturday morning we had a very nice breakfast and then sat out by the pool until our friends JW and JD arrived. Then the rain began so we moved onto the back porch and played cards. DR kept telling the husband I had set the bar high for dinner and kept the pressure on him. I got sent to the pantry to get him his supplies for the meal. Then I and out guests went to tea. We had fun and returned back promptly at 8:30 and were all put to work to help get dinner ready. I have to admit the husband definitely surpassed me in the arena of dinner. I told him though that I was taking partial credit since I did the grilling for the dinner. We all then promptly fell into food comas and did not make it out- which after Friday night's activity is not a bad thing.

Sunday after we saw off our guests we took the ferry back and went to the husband's mother's house to celebrate her birthday. She made excellent paella.

I read an excellent editorial in the WSJ today discussing just what windfall profits are and what makes them winfalls. Senator Obama's plan seems a bit disingenous since it only targets the traditional targets of the Democratic Party. I am a bit disappointed because his entire campaign has been about not being the usual political race. I also do think that he is very subtly and smartly playing the race card and then saying he is not doing it. I have probably just pissed off a lot of people with that comment but what the hell- you can't be friends with everyone.

Swam this morning since I need to get serious about training for the OCT race we signed up for. There was one hottie getting out of the pool as I was getting started.
