Well that was the last of my long weekends for a while, I’m afraid.  Oh well, it was a good one.   I’d been wanting to go to the Boulevard Brewery tour for a long time, and it’s almost impossible to get in on the weekends any more.  So, I took off Friday and got in the 1:00 tour group.  Our friend Brooke joined us, and we enjoyed a fine lil’ tour-de-Boulevard.  I’ve been on it several times before, but not since their big expansion a few years back.  It was interesting as always, especially to see how much they’ve grown since the last time I was there.  After that we had loosely planned to head down to the Power & Light area for a while, but the weather was too nice to be inside so we opted for, what else, the deck at the Brooksider.  Donette headed to the Royals game for her evening entertainment;  I went home and watched it on the couch with Gabe.

Saturday I got up and headed out to the Downtown Airport to join Munkirs & Martin on a little bike ride.  For some time, our plan has been to start training post-float-trip, so I guess we’re making good on that so far.  I’m not exactly clear what we’re training for, but we can figure that out later.  It was definitely good to get back on the ol’ bike.  I’ve done precious little riding in the last several years, maybe this will be the summer I actually do a little cycling again.  Off to a decent start anyway;  We managed to get in 15 miles or so, despite a rather annoying wind.  We’ll see where it goes from here.  Either we go again sometime this week, or the bike goes back on the wall for another five years.  After that small bout of exercise, I went home and mowed the lawn.  It is in full crazy-growing mode;  I just mowed that stupid stuff last Sunday and it was already way too tall.  I got it knocked down though.  Better hit it again Wednesday.  Around 3:00 we headed out to the Royals game.  It didn’t start until 6:00 but the weather was awesome so we decided to do a little grilling.  Enjoyed some hamburgers, then went in and watched the home team get pummeled.  I was actually a little excited to see Greinke pitch, but I guess it just wasn’t his night.  I was complaining about the fact that they never win when I go to the games.  Donette pointed out that they just never win, so maybe I’m not actually cursed.

Sunday we just kind of hung out and enjoyed the weather.  We took Gabe on a nice long walk, then decided to waste the rest of the afternoon at the Brooksider on the porch.  I have a feeling this weather isn’t going to last long, so I figure enjoy it while it’s here.  We hung out there for quite a while, then hit Jalapenos for dinner and called it a weekend.
