yes we can

The entire city is gearing up for quite a weekend. I came home from a tough, first week back at school and parked the car right in front of our building. We're not moving it until Thursday. We've heard lots of estimates about how many people will be flooding in. And, we've also received numerous alerts from the University about how to conduct yourself when downtown. The next few days will be interesting.

We started off the weekend with homemade sushi. Mr. Beeton knew I had a rough week, so while I was teaching yesterday, he went out on his scooter to pick up crab sticks, cucumber, carrots, and the ingredients for spicy mayo. After walking Ella, we spread everything out on the dining room table and made our rolls. The process was fun, and the rolls were delicious. 

The rest of the weekend will most likely consist of eating out.  (Don't tell Suze or Oprah.) I think it's the safest way to head into the city and see just how many people are around. And, then, on Tuesday, we'll be stopping in at Napoleon Bistro before heading to the University's unofficial inaugural ball. 

Keeping sweeping, Martha
