A wedding and the "Just Us" Tournament

On the weekend of the 8th and 9th, we went to a wedding of one of Rasila's Boston College friends, who also happened to move to LA after graduation.  It was held in Pasadena, CA on the Cal Tech campus at The Athenauem.  It was a great location and a lot of fun.  Only 4 or 5 of Rasila's friends in LA were common friends, but we enjoyed seeing them and did a lot of dancing!

On Sunday, we got up and drove down to Mission Beach in San Diego for the semi-annual "Just Us" tournament that a friend of mine organizes.  It is generally the group of people I used to play with every Sunday when we were all younger and childless.  The format always changes and this time we were separated into 3 groups: The Women, The Hammers, and The Hackers.  I guess I did too well last fall and they put me in The Hammers.  I have not played since then, and even though I have lost 15 pounds or so in the last 6 months, playing 5 games of 2 on 2, sideout scoring beach volleyball was not easy.  I was the common loser in all games, causing the other 3 Hammers to all be 2-1 and I was 0-3.  I played another game co-ed and salvaged a victory, but lost a last game I played.  I was sore until Tuesday :-D
