For the third weekend in a row we got to travel out of state, though this past weekend's trip was merely a jaunt into New Hampshire to my youngest nephew's first communion service. It was not particularly impressive. I got the sense that there wasn't a whole lot of planning involved, or perhaps I should say a lot of useful planning. Still, my nephew came through about as well as can be expected of anything that leads you to wear a white suit.

Got to watch bits of the NFL draft afterwards, which wasn't much to talk about other than watching Aaron Rodgers free-fall his way through the first round (though landing in Green Bay isn't so bad). The Pats' draft was even less noteworthy, though they did get to pick Mr. Irrelevant, William Penn TE Andy Stokes. The Pats got pretty good mileage out of their last Mr. Irrelevant, Marty Moore, which hopefully gives the new guy some hope.

Not much else of consequence to mention from the weekend. Got to spend way too much time at the mall yesterday, which prefaced an irritating pair of visits to Cingulair stores where we learned that we'd have to pay a migration fee and upgrade both our phones just to replace the wife's phone, which took an inadvertant bath last month. That being said, if anyone has an old Motorola V60 lying around, or knows someone who is looking to part with one for cheap, let me know. We're combing eBay as well.

Oh, of passing interest to the trivia nerds among us: we wound up playing NTN on Friday and Saturday, and I managed to land in the top 10 for a couple of games of Countdown (4th and 8th, respectively). These were interrupted by a long foray into NTN's NASCAR game, where we got to make a bunch of predictions on yesterday's race, none of which I remember or actually care about. In any event, it'd been some time since I'd done that well, so perhaps I'll have to goad the wife into playing more often (though, oddly, we played both nights at her behest).
