Monday – 02 April 2012
I find it amusing that yesterday, Mother Nature played a rather cruel joke on us: It snowed. That’s right, after 80-degree Fahrenheit temperatures on Saturday, there was snow. Nothing stuck in the valley, but there are some traces on the mountains. And we’re supposed to be back in the 70s by the end of the week. “April Fools,” indeed.

Aside from that, the past weekend was good. Friday, I spent the day with the girls of Team DiVa.

We spent the morning at home, but made a trip to Red Butte Garden in the afternoon. (We were going to go to the zoo, but SaraRules! suggested that we wait until Sunday and go as a family. As you might guess from the first paragraph, that didn’t happen.)

Saturday, I had judged another “Infinity Gauntlet” HeroClix event for Dr. Volt’s Comic Connection. We had a good turn-out: fourteen (14) players. Since the games were set at 300 points per player, the matches went quickly. In more than a few cases, matches were over in less than ten minutes. After the tournament, it was back home to hang out with SaraRules! and the girls.

Yesterday, we braved Mother Nature’s sense of humor and went to Millcreek Cafe for breakfast. Later came errand-running and around-the-house chores. Then, dinner with the in-laws. Then, back home to put a very tired Team DiVa to bed. We capped off the night watching a little TV and having snacks — I had a Butterfinger-encrusted caramel apple from C.K. Cummings.

Today… well, it’s been a busy Monday. Things didn’t slow down until lunchtime. (Oddly enough, no monkeys were involved.) Sidenote: SaraRules! made beef barley soup yesterday, which was part of today’s lunch. It was pretty damned fantastic, I have to say.

Hopefully, the rest of the day – and evening – will be fairly low-key.

None today; maybe next time.

Namaste.
