A Rare Win!

A decent weekend, all in all.  Donette came back from a work trip late Friday afternoon, and still had enough energy left to join me on the patio at the Brooksider.  We actually stayed quite a while, as the weather was just too nice to pass up.  Some of her friends from her teaching days were there too, so they kept her entertained while I hung out with The Boys.

Saturday was sort of a “rest and relaxation” day.  I squeezed in a quick bike ride, then we headed down to Hooper’s for lunch to enjoy their $1.50 hot dog special.  (I really don’t like hot dogs that much, but for whatever reason they sounded good.)  Since they were so cheap, I had the not-so-bright idea to eat two of them, which effectively relegated me to the couch for the rest of the afternoon.  Whew, them some big ‘dogs, complete with queso, black beans, and turbo-hot jalapenos.

Sunday morning I sat on the couch watching the second half(s) of all the movies I’d slept though Friday and Saturday night.  A productive use of time I suppose.  After that, we met up with the Martins at Bryant’s for a massive BBQ lunch and then headed to the stadium to watch the Royals game.  Man, that was a good game, complete with good weather.  I was rather excited to see Guthrie pitch, and dang near got to see my first no-no.  That part got blown, but they won all the same.  After the game there was still plenty of nice weather left, so we rolled down to the Brooksider for a bit, then headed home and watched another movie on Netflix.  (The second half of which I will have to watch another time, as I fell asleep again.)
