Quiet weekend

We had a very laid-back weekend, but I don't think anyone was too disappointed. I spent most of my time fighting a cold and watching Chris play Xbox. Since Rachel had the most interesting weekend of all of us, I'm going to fill everyone in. She hung out with her Tae Kwon Do buddies Friday evening on post, and Saturday, she spent several hours at Tae Kwon Do practice, then ate with the team on post, and ended up at one of her teammates' houses later that evening to enjoy a home-cooked meal by one of the boy's Korean moms. Sunday, after getting misdirected by a well-meaning Korean on the subway*, she finally made it to church (only half an hour late). Sunday afternoon, Rachel, Coach Canon (boys' v-ball coach), and a couple of the other senior varsity girls played the JV girls in a friendly game at the high school gym. They also played the ladies' league (or as Rachel calls it, the "old women's team"), and I can happily report that Rachel's team won each of the games! One of Rachel's Taekwondo buddies, Anthony (whose mom cooked for the group on Sat. night), came to dinner Sunday night, and stayed for a few hours playing with Ozzy, and watching In Living Color Season 1, that I downloaded last week.
Sounds like it was a pretty good weekend for Rachel, although Chris and I really enjoyed just being home and being lazy (surprise, surprise).
*Koreans don't like to admit they don't know the answer to a question, so if you ask for directions, you may or may not end up in the wrong place. They tend to make stuff up, rather than say "I'm not sure". It's always best to just practice reading subway maps, or have a general idea of where you want to go before you leave...
