back in the bean.

when i'm in the cape, i always think about coming back home to boston. so right now, i'm actually back home, and there isn't anything to do. i guess it's naive of me to think that i can just pick up things right where i left them off. the house feels empty and desserted, though relaxing in a way. i woke up this morning feeling a bit dazed from last night's activities.

it was a sunny morning so i decided to sit out on the porch. i sat down and began reflecting. the victory judgement produced to us yesterday was the final nail in the coffin. case closed, and there is definitely a lot more to smile about now. i did a lot of serious thinking about that. no matter how deep or twisted my thoughts went, i could not help but notice how beautiful the trees were. they were taller, greener, and they actually had leaves. though summers in the cape are lovely, i miss summers here back in newton.

coincidentally, my time back home overlaps chen's birthday. though nothing was planned, i think his birthday celebrations worked out exactly how he wanted it to be. when it comes down to stuff like this, he's really simple about it, and that's the great thing about him: simplicity... happy birthday you goofy mother effer. i know you're hiding behind the computer and reading this right now. so in honor of your bday, i'm going to dedicate half this blog entry to you.
