little lookout's football game tonight, his soccer game tomorrow, and I play four soccer games in the next 48 hours.

Company picnic out at the lake this weekend. I reluctantly agreed to go, tempted mostly by free food, and the promised presence of dogs and other children for Minifob to play with. Plus, since information was distributed through Evite, I could see that for the most part only people I liked had RSVP'ed yes.

Lil' Griff has field hockey tomorrow, then we road trip for Lil' Pete's fencing. Are parents weird?

lookout123 · 09-28-2007, 01:59 PM

weird? no. innovative? yes, i never would have thought to make lil lookout's hobby a money making venture.

Griff: no, no, no. you never ever give him the money until you make sure the stereos work.
Lil Pete: I'm sorry dad. does this mean my pimp hand is weak?
Griff: i swear lil pete you are never going to break even out here on the street. You have to be strong.

ever have one of those moments when you think, "that last cup of coffee might have been unnecessary?"

Saturday morning: set up tables bright and early for a community yard sale, leave my wife there to sell crap at her organization's table, and take the kids home. Feed them a snack and then take them to daughter's soccer game. After the game, swing by, pick up my wife, and have lunch. The afternoon is free, so I'll either ride bikes with the kids, or work on the house. Watch a DVD with Mrs. glatt that night. Not sure what is next in the queue. Oh, wait, we have "The Office" from last night taped. Might watch that.

Sunday is church in the morning, where my daughter is doing her very first stint as an altar girl. Normally I'm pretty bored at church, but this might be interesting. Then lunch, followed by my daughter going to a birthday party. Afternoon is free, so I don't know what I'm doing. Mrs. glatt and I will probably do something with our son while daughter is at party.

Nothing too exciting, but hey, that's life. There's a mixture of planned stuff and free time, so it should be a decent weekend.

This thread is a real slice-of-life. I like it. It's nice to see the little details of people's lives, to know those things held in common, uniting the thick middle layer of communities around the world.

We so look forward to the big events, but it's really the accretion of the ordinary that form the foundation of our lives and makes those big events possible.

HLJ - have you posted what your doing this W/E?

This weekend I'll be preparing a presentation on renewable energy, which I'm scheduled to give next weekend at the Gilpin Gold annual festival. I really meant to have this done weeks ago, but I've spent all my free time here.

Urbane Guerrilla · 09-29-2007, 04:02 AM

The rest of the weekend is consumed, largely, with performing in a community theater production of Winnie The Pooh.

We opened tonight, two shows tomorrow, matinee Sunday.

Griff · 09-29-2007, 06:33 AM

I didn't see that coming, many layer onion man.

DanaC · 09-29-2007, 03:20 PM

He's playing the owl if I recall correctly?

How'd the first show go down Urbane?

Does she have to light candles? It's always fun watching the shorties trying to get them lit.

We ended up buying a matching sofa & loveseat, both reclining. Now we just have to clear enough garbage out of the basement to move our futon down there that's currently in the living room, and get rid of our old loveseat.

No no no, the love seat goes on the front porch, for the hounds, and the futon goes on top of the Camaro.
