Weekender: Tom in Tucson/ Me in Charleston

We are having our first full weekend living in two states. Tom went to a local Mexican (surprise! surprise!) restaurant and had dinner and a beer and met some local people. He said the food was good and he told me his dish had shrimp that really tasted like shrimp! (On our house hunting visit I had shrimp that if blindfolded I would never have guessed it was shrimp that I was eating!)

On this side of the country, I went to a Kris Kristofferson concert. We had bought the tickets with a couple we are friends with 7 or so months ago and as it turns out, she is not in Charleston at the time and, of course, Tom's ticket had to be subbed out. We both ended up asking 2 other friends from when we had all worked together in a restaurant many (many) years ago. It was a high end steak restaurant called Le Chateau. There are a core group of us that have remained friends over all these years. So we had a mini Chateau reunion with our friend Andy coming in from Columbia. So it was really nice for me to have an opportunity to see all of them together before I leave. And that was just a bonus to a great concert. Our seats were 6 rows back and Kris sang for over two hours and played all the songs that you remember as his biggest. He was also very humble and humorous. His tempo was a bit slower than in years past and he joked that when the audience was clapping in time with the music that if it seemed a bit off that it wasn't us, it was him.

Today was one of my least favorite days in Charleston as far as the weather goes, for it was in the low 40s and raining most all day. I spent the afternoon with my mom and my sister out to lunch and a little bit of shopping- as I need to have more things for the movers to pack! Tom spent his day with his cousin Kate checking out some more houses for us and doing a bit of bird watching.

So just one more day of this weekend living apart...
