What aren't you doing this weekend?

I was going to Fort Ticonderoga for an outdoor epee event.

1) Dad's Altzheimers caused him some serious problems, so it is family meeting time.
2) We're feeding teh lil' goat every 6 hours and didn't want to hang that on my nephew.

Ft. Ti and surrounding activities/ADK based friends visit is right out.

So, what aren't you up to this weekend. Feel free to piss and moan.

I'm not going where I'd really like to go, but other than that:

Friday/Saturday, helping my best friend move into her new house, and probably help her drink a couple beers. What are friends for?

Sunday. Nothing! Day of Sloth.

Monday. Younger brother's house.

I also won't be going to CO to see my nephew with my older brother and sister-in-law: he's deploying to Afghanistan on June 4th.

I won't be getting enough sleep. The FIL is visiting; he gets up early. And falls asleep at 8:30pm.

Probably won't get to go wake boarding / jet skiing as planned - supposed to be thunderstorms off and on all weekend. Don't want to be in the middle of a lake when lightning strikes.

And Griff, what's an epee event? You all allergic to bees? (I'm assuming you meant teepee, which will suck to miss - I'm sorry.)

going to a baby shower; and enjoying my extra "day of sloth." Maybe I'll get up extra early one day and watch some balloons rise.

You can still come to Colorado, though.

My brother in law is also deploying to A. He's in WA right now, though.

Here is the wiki explanation...

...and the particular event.

My FIL had a teepee event last week btw. Torn canvas but repairable.

I wanted to go see the new Terminator movie, but my boss wants me to drive to Rockford, IL instead. Bastard! So I'm out of Dallas for IL, again. There's no freight up there so I may be there a while!
