Let's see if I can remember what all we did yesterday (Saturday). Carrie went to Trader Joe's for supplies. When she got back we called Trevor to see if it would be okay if we brought over his belated birthday present then. He said that Mark & Viki were still asleep, though, so he wasn't sure if it was okay for anyone to come over. We told him to call us when they woke up, which he did about an hour (?) later.
So we went over there and gave him his present, and his card (which I had made on the 'puter here, and I was in a kinda weird mood when I made it). For some reason I got really winded by this, so we didn't stay around very long. Just long enough for them to inflate their GIANT backyard water slide. Thing is frikkin' huge.
Then we stopped by Popeye's on the way home and picked up some fried chicken. Not kitchen fresh chicken; fried chicken. With mashed potatoes and that macaroni that tastes more like meat than cheese. We took it home and ate some, then played some Mario Kart.
Then the Goukers came over. Cat gimped on the couch with the other gimp (me) while Chris tried to fix our dishwasher. Carrie & I played some more Mario Kart, and later on Cat tried to read some French out loud (from Le Petit Prince). It was one of the funniest things I've heard in a long, long time. Carrie doesn't speak French, and even she was busting a gut (metaphorically—not literally like I did a while back).
They left, and then a while later (around 5:00-ish) Christine showed up along with Viki & Sophia. Then all of us went out to University Place and a giant house where Gretchen's sister Nova lives, to celebrate Gretchen's gradumation from the high school! Highlight of the night was definitely Missa getting trashed and swinging a baseball bat at a pinata. Hoo-boy!
We came home and I think we mighta played more Mario Kart. I can't rightly remember. But Carrie got real sleepy so off she went. I wasn't sleepy yet so I stayed up and watched Bram Stoker's Dracula on Encore.

Alrighty, Chris,
first off, it's good to have you back and bloggin'. that surgery sounded like less than lots of fun.
secondly, me missus and I are leaving the country and heading back to the UK, then Mexico, then all kinds of places, and long story short and all, I'm planning a yard sale for next saturday and remembered you'd written a superlative article on the subject. As long as i don't sell everything on craigslist between now and next satuday...
Just thought i'd let you know that your online repository of wisdom is being used out here in meatspace. Cheers & keep up the grand work.
