minnehaha's son and new daughter-in-law where I saw many friends. I got called on stage by the band to play bodhran for the end of their set, which was cool. Far too soon, I had to head off to go to work.When I arrived home to get Ericka her bedtime drugs and let the dog out and such, however, I started feeling wistful for this once-in-a-lifetime event. So I called in to work, discovered that they weren't too busy and so, seeing as I'm working a shift on Sunday this week, I decided to not go into work.
By the time I got back out to the party, the bar had closed down and the band was packing up. But there were still people hanging around, chatting. With the help of
90_percent_sure and other culprits, some cake was snarfed as the last dregs of the party went wandering off.I grabbed some food at Byerly's and relaxed for the rest of the evening. Caught part of a movie and napped on and off.
Saturday I watched the end of the Twins' loss to the Boston Red Sox. One can only admire the Boston pitcher, Pedro Martinez. He is a master of his craft; I cannot recall seeing better. I'll watch the rubber match of their series later today.
Got to the MN-Stf meeting today, giving my friend Tony a ride. He gave me a 2-for-1 Twins ticket coupon that he'd acquired. Tony can't sit in the Metrodome seats for the entirety of a ball game so he wanted someone to have it that would appreciate it.
It will come in handy next week, I think. Ericka's relatives are coming up for an extended weekend and doing Mother's Day here. So I'll have her brothers around for a few days and so maybe taking them out to a ball game while their in town would be an idea.
Saw more friends at MN-Stf, including hosts
cakmpls and her husband, both halves of minnehaha who were making a brief sojourn from WeddingCon, mizzlaurajean and lsanderson who worked the crowd for Minicon, dreamshark who got together with mizzlaurajean to come up with a nifty "Fannish Parade of Homes" idea. Later daedala showed up with her newly-quilted quilt which looked fabulous and received much-deserved praise.I left relatively early and tooled around a little. Really was a good day for driving. Got home and immediately felt sleepy. I think during my on-and-off sleep Friday night I didn't get as much time on. So I've had a good nap now and have another four or five hours before I head off to bed for good. There's some good stuff on the TiVo, so I'll have a look at some of that.
My cat is being terminally cute, all curled up with her head tucked under in the middle of my disheveled bedclothes. It'll be a shame to disturb her to make the bed so I'll let it be for now.
