Back from Jeju

So much to discuss from the weekend that sentence fragments bullet points:

• Pink shorts:
  
  
  
• Lauren's and Mike's costumes...
  
  
• Lauren and Mike by night's end...
  
  
• Joe winning a party award on Saturday night at the Rubik's Cube-themed party and Jim being Jim, eventually returning to the hotel to crack a 20-minute monologue Robin-Williams-Live-On-Broadway-style.
  
  
• Big Brother playing great Ultimate the entire weekend before developing a serious case of the drops in its semifinal game against Korea, the eventual tourney champion.
  
  
• Sandy being honored on the Gnarly Nines all-star team.
  
  
• Brian and I being called into what can only be called a porn shoot. We were ushered from our hotel room to another one across the hall, in which Jim -- shirtless, of course -- was giving directions to Mike, who was taking videos on his camera from his knees.
  
  Oh, you want to know...
  
  
• The Sunday party.
  

Here's what Beijing looked like, by the way, on the day of our return (Monday):





We love you, Beijing!
