Tennis and a charity event at the Hard Rock Cafe; weekend in Cairo

Yesterday I ran 1 ½ miles around the CAC track and then played tennis with Nate for over an hour, all the while the boys played at the playground. I used to play a lot of badminton when I was younger, and it was good fun to use a racket again.

In the afternoon we hung out and in the evening Maddy, ‘the fun and beautiful baby sitter’ as August calls her, watched the boys while I went to the Hard Rock cafe at the Grand Hyatt Cairo downtown to hear The Fuuls, our downstairs neighbors Nate & Eden and their friend Jeff Harding, perform at a charity event.

It was a nice evening, buffet food and beer, and although I’ve heard the Fuuls practice many times, it’s always very special to see them perform. They are true professionals. Nate dedicated Bob Dylan’s Wallflower to Courtney, one of the few songs by his otherwise favorite singer and songwriter that Courtney doesn’t like. They sang it beautifully.

All the kids slept over at our house, and after a huge pancake breakfast this morning, they’re all still in their pajamas playing a game downstairs. I’m taking a moment to rest. Eden might have said it before, but this morning was the first time I ever had to say, “Courtesy of Nate, my butt muscles are really sore!”
