weekend wrapup

This weekend:

• sold my soul and bought an external flash (an SB-700) but didn't teach myself how to use it, like I said I would
• took Finley to a fenced-in baseball field to wear him out and laughed at his fur blowing in the wind
• went to my cousin's baby shower 
• visited Evin's friends in DC, found an Irish pub with happy hour on delicious Irish draught beverages (the first bar in the states where I've found Magners on tap [the name for Bulmers Cider sold outside of Ireland]) and ate tasty Irish fare, said "cilantro" instead of "slainte", took the (delayed for single-tracking) metro to the National Christmas tree, wandered over to the ice skating rink, and decided against skating with the masses
• baked things, including homemade dog biscuits for Finley and friends

Like I said yesterday, it's going to be a busy photo week.  I'll have more to share.
