Weekend Notes
Another weekend that, honestly, not much exciting happened in our lives. Most of the weekend was dreary, from Friday evening until late Sunday afternoon. We got a decent downpour overnight into Saturday morning, enough that the pool cover pump was completely submerged when I tossed it out Saturday morning. Later in the day we got absolutely pounded, with flash flood…
Weekend Notes
It was nice to have a laid back weekend after several weeks of travel and other nonsense. Although a few of us spent time in the car. Unfortunately, I am still sick. Today will be day 14. I guess this is my punishment for going so long without being ill in any way. Last week I tried one batch of…
Weekend Notes
A weekend with some big sporting events to discuss. Hibachi I did some Good Dad stuff to start the weekend. L’s favorite restaurant is a hibachi place near us. Since I got a Blackstone grill last year I’ve made a far-less-elaborate home version a couple times. She had bragged about my skills to her friends and requested that I cook…
Staying Put (Maybe)
The Royals are getting a new ballpark. I wasn’t sure what punctuation to use after that sentence. An exclamation point, suggesting excitement? A question mark, noting that despite the length of yesterday’s press conference there weren’t a lot of hard details, and given how long this saga has already stretched it is probably premature to suggest this is the actual…
Weekend Notes
I had a very quiet weekend. L scooped ice cream both Friday and Saturday nights. She had some friends over Sunday, one of whom got promposaled here. S went down to Cincinnati for M’s sorority Ladies’ Day on Saturday, spending the night. Sunday L and S went to a bridal shower for L’s “god cousin.” C even had visitors at…
Some More Sports Takes
As promised, a few more sports takes. NFL A month into the NFL season, so time for a quick look at where we are at. Is there a dominant team, or any clear Super Bowl favorites? I don’t think so. Buffalo is undefeated, but only thanks to an epic comeback in week one against Baltimore. Their defense has been shaky…
Weekend Notes
A very busy weekend, at least the front half. A Wedding Friday evening we all went to the wedding of O, the oldest daughter of our neighbors at our old house. M was a bridesmaid, her first of many I’m sure, so it was an extra big deal for her. It was a very nice ceremony and reception; the bride…
D’s Notes
A few other notes from last week/the weekend plus life in general. Health I’ve had a couple longer spells of irregular heart beats lately, so the week before we went to Denver I wore an event monitor again. Just like the first two times I wore one, I had zero issues, so it wasn’t really helpful. Plus it made it…
R’s: Surviving and Advancing!
What a glorious October morning today was. Made all the more glorious by the mighty Kansas City Royals sweeping Baltimore to advance to the ALDS against the evil New York Yankees. It’s like the late 70s up in here! Two tense games in gloomy, Baltimore weather, which made the Wild Card series feel so much like the 2014 ALCS between…
Weekend Notes
Another weekend in the books. This one had some familiar elements, yet was still quite different than other recent weekends. Helene The biggest event of the weekend was the remnants of Hurricane Helene kind of ruining our weekend. That’s overstating things. Other people had far worse weekends than we did because of the weather. But it was cloudy, breezy, and…
