I seem to have woken up on the figurative “wrong side of the bed” this morning.\u00a0 Despite this hindrance, I will do my best at summarizing my 3-day weekend, which actually was rather entertaining.\u00a0 Maybe the fact that it is over has thrown me into this foul temperament.\u00a0 Who knows.<\/p>\n
So anyway, Friday I had the day off, as previously mentioned.\u00a0 I spent the greater part of the day on the PC in my endless quest for bicycle wheels.\u00a0 A fruitless search, as always.\u00a0 I did take advantage of my free day to join “the boys” down at the Brooksider for an early happy hour around 3:00.\u00a0 That’s when they show up every day, one of the many benefits of retirement I suppose.\u00a0 I hung out there for a while, even tried to have a cigar on the deck.\u00a0 Too cold though, that didn’t last long.\u00a0 We headed back home for dinner, then I tried to watch “Toy Story 3.”\u00a0 As usual, I promptly fell asleep as soon as it started.<\/p>\n
Saturday we joined our friend Ann for her annual “Snowball Softball” game.\u00a0 Legend has it that softball was actually a part of this event many years ago.\u00a0 That must have been a good many years ago because we’ve known her for a considerable time and I can’t remember that part of it.\u00a0 Then again, I’ve never actually attended the event either, giving me a rookie status this year.\u00a0 Basically the “game” consists of a pub crawl around several local dives, each location making up an inning.\u00a0 It was a fun day, and I actually went to a few places I’d never been to before.\u00a0 (This doesn’t mean I will necessarily go back<\/em> to them though…)\u00a0 Two such places were Flo’s Polka Dot Lounge and Tommy Farhas Cafe.\u00a0 Not only had I never been to these places, I’d never even noticed they were there, despite driving by both countless times.\u00a0 They were…\u00a0 “Interesting.”\u00a0 If nothing else they had good diversions;\u00a0 I played several games of pool at Flo’s and they had a dart board at Farhas.<\/p>\n Sunday there was some football game on.\u00a0 I don’t think anybody I knew was very interested in the game, but it did provide a good reason for a party.\u00a0 We went to our friend Steve’s house way out in the southlands.\u00a0 We don’t get to see them very often so we spent most of the time catching up with everybody, not to mention enjoying ribs, brisket, pork & chicken.\u00a0 There was a big crowd there, and I really don’t think anybody watched much of the game.\u00a0 We left at halftime, and I watched the rest of it at home.\u00a0 Yawn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I seem to have woken up on the figurative “wrong side of the bed” this morning.\u00a0 Despite this hindrance, I will do my best at summarizing my 3-day weekend, which actually was rather entertaining.\u00a0 Maybe the fact that it is over has thrown me into this foul temperament.\u00a0 Who knows.
