project 52?

Um, whatever happened to that Project 52 thingy? Somewhere on the internet there must surely be a website with the statistics about how far into some type of Project 52 or 365 or whatever the participants lost interest and dropped the whole thing. Kind of like that owl in the Tootsie Pop commercial. Ah-one, ah-two, ah-three. *crunch* Ah-three.

Well, I don't know if we're going to keep going or not. We have done some fun things as a couple over weeks 8, 9, and 10. The first week of Frances's school's football season we tried a new local barbecue place before heading over to the game. It was really good -- I do love a pulled-pork sandwich.

A couple of weeks ago we went on a field trip with my yoga teacher (remember her Diwali party?) to a local Hindu temple with the most amazing carvings. We got to drive over with Dolly and her husband so they filled us in about what we would be seeing. Then they picked out a bunch of delicious snacks for us to taste. It was a scorching hot day, but inside the temple filled with bright white marble, it was like a cool ice cave.

Visitors with bare legs (shorts or short skirts) were given a sarong to cover up with. Bill rocked it! 

All three of us ended up with a fun family date last weekend when we went to Five Guys for dinner. I think we actually started out kind of cranky after a couple of 100-degree days with NO AIR CONDITIONING but we recovered our collective sense of humor over burgers and fries and the Guys' awesome soundtrack. Frances laughed at our dueling renditions of "Born to Run" (me--poetry recitation, Bill--caveman-style sing-along), and we all channeled Weird Al along with "Smells Like Teen Spirit." 

So stay tuned to see what happens next with Project 52. With Frances cheering at high school football, our weekends have filled up with school activities and Bill has some weekend field trips coming up for his class. I'll keep you posted.
