Well, YESTERDAY night I had a bi-annual get-together with beautiful friends I don't see much of, and that was a big deal, just to sit around and talk, but it left me feeling vaguely embarrassed at how much attention I want from people on such occasions. Tonight I'm going to see if I can do some little house-fixing chore to get to cross it off a long list, and hope to get lucky with my wife if we can outlast the kids. We ran them around at the waterfront park. There may be hope. Two bi-annual events in one weekend. Wow.
