Sunday
Wow.
That’s about all that I can really say about yesterday. After yesterday’s post, we went out and about for a bit. We made stops at the comic book shop, Graywhale CD Exchange, and the only Best Buy in Salt Lake that I hadn’t been to. Then, on to dinner.

I had told Jess that I wanted to go to The Outback. So, she made reservations. And, I’m not sure if it was in response (or retaliation) to me setting up a surprise dinner with friends for her birthday, but she invited people to join us. I think that fifteen showed up; I think that it was fifteen. ::: counts :::

  • Mary
  • Steve and John
  • Julie (Jess’ sister)
  • Julia
  • Larry
  • Adrian
  • Heather and her friends Kat and Elia
  • Jerry
  • Land and Catherine
  • Michelle and her daughter Cailyn
  • Angie.

Nope, that’s sixteen. Anyway, it was a very cool dinner. We were there for… almost four hours, if I am not mistaken. It was also very cool because everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the company/conversations.

“One” of the coolest gifts came from Adrian and Michelle:

  • A reprint of Action Comics #1,
  • a signed copy of The Superman Gallery (1, 2), and
  • a signed copy of The Legacy of Superman (1, 2).

Verra cool, indeed.

Bowling. Teresa (co-worker), Shane (her husband), Dave () and his gf Jen came to join us. Dave owned the lanes last night. OWNED. But, we had a good time. And, joy of joys, a lot of people came to the bowling alley in their costumes. Some were good. Some were bad. And some were just…. “Oh, my.” But, not in a necessarily good way. I’ll just leave it at that. We went for the traditional post-bowling eats at Village Inn. More costumes. Again, there were some… interesting… ones.

All-in-all, it was a very cool day.

::: Football Update :::
The Ravens are getting their collective asses handed to them by the Steelers. At Ravens’ Stadium. This is not a good thing. It’s 28 – 3… at halftime. Definitely not good.
::: End Update :::

And, before I forget: “Thank you” to everyone who sent birthday wishes yesterday (and today).

Time to watch the rest of this very ugly football onslaught game.

Namaste.
