bruised and battered - all good

But for good reasons!
Friday night had too many things going on at once. Uncle Garry & Aunt Paula and family+ (10 total) came by to see the new home and attend the free local concert and fireworks at the nearby park. Attended work picnic with literally a horde of little kids and babies (apparently all of the residents/fellows at UNMC chose that time to reproduce - breaking records). Had 4 friends come over afterwards and we all joined neighbors for BBQ and walked en masse to the fireworks and a little dancing to the final throws of KC & the Sunshine Band. Fireworks were impressive considering they were right above us and we just walked a few blocks to get there.
Yesterday I played softball for 2+ hours with a new group (mostly made up of swing dancers - the Omaha jitterbugs) and then ultimate frisbee. I haven't done either since jr high (softball) and college (ultimate) and my body is sore! Very nice group - got invited to do movie, D&D, and more for later that night. Instead took the option with least amount of physical activity - played poker with another group for 5 hrs or so. Whew!
Needless to say, the summer has brought out many new friends, activities and renewed my faith in the Omaha area.
