Week ending 16-Nov

Pretty uneventful week and weekend here in Sydney. I survived the workweek without all that much interesting to report. Friday I went out after work and found this great outdoor bar right in the CBD that was completely packed…pretty interesting crowd. The sky of course decided to open up and we had a booming thunderstorm which isn’t the best thing to have when you’re at an outdoor bar. Saturday night I met up with a friend and went to a pretty out of the way pub in a suburb outside the main part of the city. Definitely had more of a “local” type feel as opposed to pubs in Sydney where you get all different kinds of people from all over the place. Sunday was a day of errands and chores, but I managed to skype with my adorable nephew Kai who is speaking fairly coherently now and knows who his Uncle Jesse is. He gave me a “fist-bump” over skype. And michelle happens to be in Durango visiting my sister and Tod this weekend, so it was fun to get to skype with a group of some of my favorite people all at once, but I was extremely jealous that they were all together without me! Skype is a pretty great technology…to be able to have such great quality video from literally halfway around the globe for free isn’t bad. If any of you are on skype and want to skype it up, let me know!
