Ogre's got two friends visiting him this week: Shawn (or is it "Sean"?) and Sarah (or is it "Sara"?). Both are people he knows from his stint at William and Mary. Both are way cool. I've met them each a small handful of times now, on their various treks in and through the Garden State, but I get along quite well with them. They are, to put it bluntly, my kind of people. Tomorrow I'm playing hooky and the four of us (five, possibly, if Ogre's sister Jill comes) are going to Great Adventure, one of a series of theme parks known to the world at large as "Six Flags". It should be a blast.
The only thing that would make the day better is if Lena was with me. She's still visiting friends in Seaside Heights (as far as I know) and I miss her tremendously. No matter how close we are, I'm used to not having Lena around. She does, after all, live on another continent. But after a week together, just her and me, I really got used to her being here. It got to feel very comfortable. This past week's felt very awkward without her around. I hope she comes back soon.
Oh, and to continue with the theme, Lena's name, when Anglicized, is apparently "Helen." Which doesn't really suit her at all.

We usually go on each of the major rides at least once, a few of the minor rides and then back to one or two major rides for another go-round or two. That turns out to be a pretty full day, most of the time. As for if we managed to do that today, well, just read the next post.
