That was a pretty crazy weekend, at least as weekends go for me.\u00a0 Friday I can’t even really remember what we did.\u00a0 I am relatively certain we were at the Brooksider early in the evening.\u00a0 I don’t remember anything in particular that verifies that, I’m just going with the odds.\u00a0 At some point we decided we didn’t want to go back to our house.\u00a0 Again, the decision process that led up to this is fuzzy;\u00a0 I just can’t really remember that far back.\u00a0 At any rate, we ended up staying in a room down on the Plaza.\u00a0 Sort of a little mini-vacation if you will.\u00a0 Very mini, considering it’s only four miles from our house.\u00a0 Seemed like the thing to do at the time I guess.<\/p>\n

Saturday we started the day off with breakfast at Eggct, my latest favorite place.\u00a0 Donette’s parents met us there for an early Father’s Day celebration.\u00a0 Great idea, but it didn’t work out for me;\u00a0 I got paged before I could even order my omelet.\u00a0 So, I hopped in the car and headed back to our room, and everybody else ate some tasty breakfast.\u00a0 I’ve been cheated.\u00a0 (Actually they got me a plate to go and it was solid.)\u00a0 After breakfast we decided to take a stroll around the Plaza.\u00a0 It actually is kind of like a pseudo-vacation spot because we don’t really go down there very often.\u00a0 Things went bad while I was in Diebels<\/a> though.\u00a0 I was wandering around in their huge humidor for like 20 minutes, and when I came back out there was a monsoon developing outside.\u00a0 We almost had to hunker down there, but we decided to make a dash and (barely) made it to the Falloon<\/a>.\u00a0 I thought that would be an ideal place to ride out the storm, but as soon as it hit the TV’s and music went out, leaving the place rather…\u00a0 “quiet.”\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 We enjoyed a light lunch, and by that time the rain had passed.\u00a0 Still not quite ready to go home, we went downtown for a while.\u00a0 Eventually we wound our way back to Brookside.\u00a0 Grilled some chicken kebabs for dinner and listened to the Royals game on the back porch;\u00a0 Entertainment enough for me.<\/p>\n

Sunday I went on a rather nice bike ride with Martin & Munkirs.\u00a0 We had kicked around the idea of going on the City of Fountains Tour<\/a> all week, and finally decided to just make it a last-minute call.\u00a0 As it turned out, all three of us showed up.\u00a0 The route options were a bit confusing.\u00a0 That seemed to be the case for everybody, not just us.\u00a0 We ended up stringing together a few routes and got in 30 miles.\u00a0 (By “we” I mean James, Chris & I;\u00a0 We rode by ourselves the majority of the trip.)\u00a0 It was a good ride, although we had to spend a considerable amount of time waiting on Chris.\u00a0 We weren’t in a hurry to get anywhere so that was OK.\u00a0 No man left behind, just like when he waited for me on our Katy Trail ride several years ago.\u00a0 After the ride I spent the rest of the day trying to amuse myself between intermittent pages from work.\u00a0 I still maintain I am flat too old to be oncall, but I’m not getting a lot of support on that theory.\u00a0 I watched a good part of the Royals game down at the Brooksider over a tasty tuna salad sandwich, then a little more work, then grilled up some burgers for dinner.\u00a0 After dinner we were gonna watch a movie but decided I’d just fall asleep anyway, so I played Wii instead and then called it a weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
