Another down-ish weekend.\u00a0 I’m still oncall so I kept things rather subdued.\u00a0 Not that unusual really, but at least I feel like I have an excuse.\u00a0 Friday we went out for our semi-almost-nearly-traditional happy hour, but this time we went to the Peanut on Main instead of the Flying Saucer.\u00a0 Downtown was an absolute madhouse with the Big 12 tourney going on, and I didn’t want to risk being jostled.\u00a0 We met up with John & Susan and a few of their friends, and hung out there for a while.\u00a0 Went home in time for dinner, and so went Friday.<\/p>\n
Saturday I got up to find my website all messed up, so I spent my morning on that.\u00a0 Before going to bed on Friday I decided it would be a good idea to try the “automatic upgrade” feature; \u00a0 Didn’t turn out to be such a whippy idea after all.\u00a0 Oh well, that’s what backups are for I guess. \u00a0 About the time I got that mess straightened out, it was time to head down for the St. Patrick’s Parade in Brookside<\/a>.\u00a0 We generally don’t go to it, but the school where Donette works was in it and she was supposed to take pictures for the yearbook.\u00a0 It turned out to be a fine parade indeed, despite the rather sketchy weather.\u00a0 The last several parades I’ve bothered going to consisted of sixty pickups with magnetic signs on the doors driving by one after another, maybe with a balloon tied to the bumper.\u00a0 Weak.\u00a0 This one was a lot more festive;\u00a0 Clowns, firetrucks, floats, costumes, and tons of candy.\u00a0 (Carefully and safely handed out, naturally;\u00a0 No throwing.)\u00a0 It was a good time, and Donette got lots of pics.\u00a0 I even posted some of them<\/a> already.\u00a0 OK, maybe not the most exciting photo album ever, but I figured it’s March already and I haven’t put up a single picture for the year.\u00a0 After the parade we stopped by the Brooksider for a short bit, mostly to warm up.\u00a0 It was crazy crowded though, and steadily getting worse, so we bailed.\u00a0 Donette went out with Susan to some kind of fund raiser later in the evening.\u00a0 I stayed home and worked all night.\u00a0 Sigh.<\/p>\n I stayed up until the wee hours working, so the better part of Sunday was spent sleeping.\u00a0 I’m getting too old for those all-nighters.\u00a0 I finally got up around noon and proceeded to do nothing for the rest of the day.\u00a0 We did go down and say hi to everybody at the Brooksider and watch the brackets on TV for a while.\u00a0 Around 5:00 or so, Donette caught a ride to the airport and headed to Las Vegas.\u00a0 She and our friend Lucy are staying there for a fews days to catch some sun and throw some money away.\u00a0 I’m gonna stay home and work.\u00a0 Sigh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another down-ish weekend.\u00a0 I’m still oncall so I kept things rather subdued.\u00a0 Not that unusual really, but at least I feel like I have an excuse.\u00a0 Friday we went out for our semi-almost-nearly-traditional happy hour, but this time we went to the Peanut on Main instead of the Flying Saucer.\u00a0 Downtown was an absolute madhouse […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/587\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
