Good Weekend.

I really didn’t want to come up with a title for this entry so I didn’t put much effort into it.

As weekends go this was a pretty good one. My flights home were pretty easy going a little late but not bad. I went out to Nye’s Polka Lounge with KS for a few beers and the GF and Karen’s new friend met up with us a little later. We listened to polka till around midnight then turned in, nothing special but a nice evening. I also replaced the part in the dishwasher and got it working before we went out so I was pretty proud of myself.

Saturday I rotated the tires on the truck, got a good run in, revised some documents for work, and then went to a wedding reception. The wedding was last February in Carmel California for a friend of mine from high school but the reception for old friends and extended family was Saturday night at Fort Snelling Air force base. It was fun. It was nice to get together with the old gang again – though there was one notable no show – everyone was there. Of course now days everyone brought a guest (though it wasn’t too long ago when we all went solo to these events and tore up the night) and it was interesting how low key everyone was… How things have changed. Just like at most the wedding we all sat at a table in the back, I think this happens because everyone is worried we will get to rowdy. Instead we all chilled with some drinks and no one got crazy. I think part of that was due to wedding couple deciding on Karaoke instead of a DJ and dancing. I think we even left before bar close!

Today was pretty good too. Woke up late, wrote out $3000 in checks to make the bill collectors happy, took the dog to the city dog run, and had dinner at my folks. Fred was funny at the park. I think it kind of felt like bringing a preschooler to the first day of class. He was really shy around the other dogs and kept running back if there were too many of them running around. At some points he was more interested in sniffing the fence and trees than playing with the other dogs or running around. After about forty minutes it was time to leave but I’m pretty sure he had a good time. Dinner with the folks was fun. My brother one a game of dice and we gave my sister her birthday present, the first two seasons of the original Dukes of Hazzard. To bad the weekend is over and I have to fly back to Dayton next week. Oh well next Friday is only five days away!
