Weekend with Trudi

Our neighbor from Durham was here visiting this weekend. She flew in on Friday night and we met her at the airport. There were a couple of trains being rerouted for the weekend (there has been a lot of maintenance on our train - the "F" - over the past few weeks) so it took us a while to get where we were going, but we made it! We had dinner at one of our favorite little pizzerias and, since it was almost midnight when we were done, we went home shortly after that. We took Trudi home by way of the tram so she could enjoy the view across the river. We didn't set a clock and slept in on Saturday morning. Ahhhh...that was so nice. In keeping with all of our good habits, we went to the gym, fixed a quick snack at home and then headed into the city to watch the UNC game. We went to a place called Brother Jimmy's BBQ on the Upper East Side, a recommendation made by a friend of mine who said that there is a big ACC crowd there. Well, there certainly was! It was like being home again!! We enjoyed watching Wake Forest get spanked by the Tarheels and then back home to warm up/relax/change before heading out for the evening. We had dinner at this restaurant called East of Eighth, a great little find just a couple of doors down from the comedy club where we were headed. We saw the 10:00 show of the Jameson Comedy Tour - all 4 comedians were great! We were just across the street from the Trailer Park Lounge, so we took Trudi there. She was very excited to stay out past midnight! Unfortunately, she hurt her ankle just as we were getting home, so Sunday's sight-seeing adventures were a wash and will have to be postponed. We just heard from her and she made it home to Durham safely. Todd and I spent the late afternoon and evening strolling through Central Park and the Upper West Side. Tonight is laundry night too.......
