"He's In a Happier Place, Now"
It took me about an hour to do that. It was fun to hang out with Ms. Mary and paint. She sent me home with a whole boatload of stuff (including wedding pics she took and some DVDs that she'd borrowed that I'd forgotten about).
I drove home from Mary's but discovered that Carrie had already left for the Bead Factory's Anniversary Party, so I scanned in my painting, then found a frame for it (by removing the frame from a photo of the house I'd taken), then took it to Panamonica's, where it was proudly put up on the wall. I had a sammitch there and shot the breeze with a guy named Sean (or Shawn or Shaun). We talked mostly about early 80s cartoons. He'd forgotten that Casy Kasem was the voice of Cliffjumper.
I came back home for a bit, and I think I played some video games or something before I drove down to The Grand Cinema and saw I Heart Huckabees with Neighbor Gary. It was pretty funny, I have to say. Afterwards we went back to Panamonica's so Gary could see "He's In a Happier Place, Now" and hang out. Mary & Devon showed up shortly thereafter. I left around midnight and drove by the house. Realizing that Carrie still wasn't home from the BF I drove there and went inside. Carrie saw me and said to Viki, "Chris is here; can I go home now?"
I rescued my wife from having to work very, very late.
Well, in truth the whole thing was wrapping up, but she still got to go home earlier than she would have if I hadn't shown up.
