I never thought of St. Louis as a weekend trip, but it is. Tracy and I didn't end up going till Saturday morning; we both ended up working late Friday night. Anyway, drive down is super easy. We stayed at Tracy's friend Trish's new house, and they had a puppy, Polly, who was super cute. Also there were Trish's husband Kevin and Lane, another of Tracy's friends from school. We got some board games in, some puppy playing, I'm no good at SceneIt?. Went and got some ping pong paddles, and I managed to pick up some old school sandpaper paddles, which are now my paddle of choice. Also got to see Karaoke Revolution on the PS2, which is pretty cool, along with seeing an EyeToy in action for the first time, very impressive. Sunday went to lunch at the City Coffee House & Creperie which was very good. Headed back up to Chicago and stopped off and watched Curious George in Woodridge. I was surprised. I wasn't expecting anything, a kids movie, nothing more, but it was really good. Like Really Good. Anyway, go see it. We then got dinner in Chinatown at Ken Kee. And now back to the grind.
