News! (To me anyway!)

1) A bubble tea shop that has decent bubble tea has opened up close to home! Finally! Too bad it's so expensive: $3.82 for a tall bubble tea with tapioca pearls. (The only thing I miss about LA is their 99¢ bubble tea.) My waistline and my pocketbook are telling me this is going to have to be a treat and not a regular occurrence ;-)

2) Marco! The pool in my apartment building is uncovered! Not that I've ever felt warm enough to go swimming. Or that I have the slightest inkling where my swimsuit might be...
