For Poppy’s first Fourth of July we decided to go exploring with our new little, week-old gal. During the beautiful 90F heat we headed out to Falls Lake, only about a 15 minute drive from Wake Forest. Swimmers and beach bums flooded the beach as the day went on. Only 10 or so minutes into [...]
Emily’s been doing well at keeping the weight off. I was told the other evening that I haven’t gained any sympathy weight either. These are good signs. This is what we want to hear!
We’re both on our feet quite a lot: Emily at school and clinicals (running around the hospital) and me at work serving [...]
We tonight went to see our friend and co-worker Daniel's band Hadwynn play in an indie venue over in Carrboro near UNC's campus. Beforehand was a Jammin' Jamaican pizza from the pizza place next door to the club, duringhand was a rocking concert (video below) and afterhand was drive home. That's too many hands, but nonetheless, what fun.

Me, Daniel, Aaron
What if I told you that I was eatin' beans on toast right now? You'd think it a crazy coincidence that you're on a website called MaustsOnToast and some guy's talking about eatin' beans on toast. You can infer from the fact that I'm eating beans on toast that I'm home alone tonight while Emily's at class; otherwise we'd be having corn on the cob, french fries, and hot wings.
It's been a while since either one of us Mausts on toast have written anything on here, so let me go ahead and say that we've booked flights to come to England for Christmas and New Years. We're scheduled to leave December, 12th @ 6:00am Lord willin' and the creek don't rise. We're hoping there'll be happy Hayes's there to greet us later that evening. Can you believe the airport was gonna charge $120 to park long-term while we're gone!? We've got some friends lined up to take us. What friends they are, let me tell you: we've got to be at the airport at 4am, which means leaving our place at about 3:30am! It's a shame we couldn't leave sooner but I've got my last final exam that Tuesday night before we fly on Wednesday, the 12th. Anyways, you Angles, Jutes, Picts, and Saxons better get ready for MaustsOnTour. We need a vacation!
In other news, I've added a melange of autumnal pictures (pumpking carving, Celtic Woman, and a squirrel!) to the Photo Gallery in addition to pictures from my cousin Greg's wedding in Ohio on September 22nd.
Tomorrow night, Friday December 8th, Emily and I have the amazing privledge to experience the sounds of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra live in person at the WVU Creative Arts Center here in Morgantown in series entitled The Torray Symphony Series. The Creative Arts website describes the upcoming performance:
"Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Andres Cardenes headlines this concert with a virtuosic performance of Bruch's brilliant Violin Conerto No. 1, and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Artistic Advisor, Sir Andrew Davis, conducts Dvorak's popular New World Symphony, plus Mozart's famous Overture to The Magic Flute."
Hopefully this will be the first of many trips to the symphony!
