Samstag (Saturday):

  • Slept in, kind of. Again, it was fitful, but I slept until 11-something. Jess got home sometime after 9am… and then had a difficult time falling asleep; I think that she finally wound up in Morpheus’ realm around noon.
  • Lazed around the apartment for a few hours.
  • Went to the inlaws’ to install a few things on their computer. And, as an added bonus, Sandi made – from scratch, of course – chocolate chip cookies! She and Jim easily qualify as the second coolest parents in the world.
  • Came home, picked up Jess and went out for dinner.
  • Jess went to work; I came home.
  • Larry and I went bowling; our friend, Mary, showed up a little later and bowled. and also came and hung out with us, for a while.
  • Larry, Mary and I (Oh, my!) went to the nearby Village Inn for a bite to eat… and saw the following:
    • A skullet that would have made both Terry Bradshaw and Dungeon Master (from the old Dungeons & Dragons cartoon) proud.
    • A woman (genetically) whom Mary said had on “transvestite makeup.” I didn’t even think to ask her exactly what that entails. I’ll put it on tomorrow’s ‘To Do List.’
    • One of the waiters dancing to Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head”. This was… umm… “interesting,” to say the least. We definitely were not expecting dinner breakfast and a show. Mary said that it, alone, made hanging out with us worth it.
  • Came home.

I forgot to mention something in last night’s post: I talked to Rana. Actual voice communication. She finally got a phone number… after four months. Sidebar:It’s somewhat amazing how we take getting a phone/phone number for granted; we almost act as if it’s our right to have one rather than a privilege. She is doing well and is enjoying herself. I asked her to send vodka! She said that she will be home for three weeks in December.

It’s late and, once more, I am tapped (Drain Life: 1 black and 1 colorless mana).

Peace.
