weekend recap, and a progress report

[lagilman]

A good weekend, although for various reasons not quite the weekend I had planned to have. Saturday was filled with socializing and errand-running, ending with a late night walking about downtown New Haven, being amused at all the 'kids' trickling back into town and filling up the bars. The bouncers were in full view, checking i.d. very carefully. I suspect it will loosen up as the academic year goes on. Or maybe not; things may have changed on that front since I was collegiate.

Woke up this morning at 5:30, thought about kicking right into gear, and instead fed the cats and went back to sleep for two hours. Oh, the indolence, the indulgence!

Then I got up, went to the gym, came home, made up a batch of pesto with the Killer Basil, and went to work. Freelance project is due on Tuesday, and there is writing also to be done, as always. Sunday? Just another workday for me.

And now I am kicking back, being lazy and enjoying the nicely cool night air while watching a pre-season Giants game with dinner and single malt. It's almost autumn. Are you ready for some football?

I suspect that since Toad's Place has just come off its 90-day shutdown for serving minors, every bar in town is going to be hyper-vigilant -- at least for the fall semester. (I can't believe the Yalies are coming back already. I so enjoy being able to find a parking spot downtown during the summer.)

And no, I'm not ready for some football yet ... but I will be by Opening Day. Go Pats!! ;)

I am NEVER ready for football, neither the American version not the European version called soccer.

And in the small world reporting section, I'm just back from a bike trip, where one of my fellow bikers was your Uncle Larry :-)

I know -- I've seen the photographic evidence!

Being both tall & extremely thin, it does appear that he's spent some time on a rack :-)

It was great to have a fellow SF fan on the trip--someone who actually got my "zombies need brains" references.

Football, yes, yes!

Been watching pre-season games for 2 weeks already. Watched three this week so far, and tonight is the Packers again. If they're not the Packers, we've been turning most off at half-time, not caring once they get to the fourth and soon-to-be-cut stringers.

Still grinning silly from the Packers' tromping of Seattle 48-13. May that herald great things to come in regular season!
