Shingles! What the heck?

The week after I crashed my bike I got what I thought was a rash on my stomach. Nope. Shingles. So freaking random! So I'm itchy and my skin's pretty sensetive, but I had anti-viral meds to take care of it; hopefully it will work.

Some fun tidbits:
-I got to select wine for Dave Matthews Band the other day. Actually it was for a roadie filling out dressing room requests. But just in case you're curious, he's drinking a Seghesio Zinfandel. I wanted to suggest something from Washington since he lives there, but the roadie didn't really care about wine or DMB.

-Jamie and I got asked to give a Marriage Course testimony at the final party that we do. It was pretty fun getting to describe what we got out of the course, even though our story was relatively plain.

-It is ripping hot here! It pretty funny to hear news reports freaking out about mid to high 80s. But with the confined spaces on trains and stuff does get pretty sick. Just hot and humid; it's a sauna in your work clothes! Sweat dripping down the back of you legs and back and you haven't even got to work yet. Ahh, London summers....

-Mark and Amy, our great Australian friends, have left London forever-not a fun tidbit. But we are happy that they get a chance to explore the US before they resettle in Australia outside of Sydney and start having babies :)

-We're trying to plan a clandestine 4th of July party with our expat friends from church. We're actually going to do it on the 5th for pragmatic purposes. Of course, we have a stock take this weekend so I get to spend a night helping count all our wine. Happy 4th of July to me! And no softball either. They don't do that here.

-Jamie's rolling to Tokyo again in a week or two to work her Index magic. Her free miles have got to be huge this year!

That's about all the menutia I can think of at this point; Aidan is talking constantly about his birthday a month out and Oliver is just talking constantly or at least babbling and almost-talking. He said clearly, "Hi" to some random girl who walked by while waiting in the doctors office. Hilarious because he would do that with a dude. Shameless flirt....

I'm going to go enjoy the sun before it disappears...

Cheers!
