fwankie schnoodle came to town

G: Last Thursday Fwankie showed up at Wunderland. He flew his helicopter into town to display it at the Air Force Memorial dedication. It was good to see him. 

Friday night we met up with him and Thom at Ri-Ra's in Bethesda. We all hung out until closing time. Thom's friend Maureen was there too, and Jamie showed up with his girlfriend Kristen, Lori showed up a little later, and Rich and Izolda showed up too. I liked their white Belgian beer. We had a lot of fun. It is so great that there is no smoking in bars in Montgomery county now. I don't think they are losing any business over it. No way could I have stayed that long if it had been smoky.

We didn't make it to the air force memorial dedication, got up too late after the night on the town. I went to the memorial potluck for Joyce Abell that was held at Greenbelt Lake. She wanted a memorial where people could bring their doggies. And they did. I hung around chatting with people and petting doggies. Later Shaun and I played a little game with a ball and some rackets with stretchy nets in them that you use to sling shot the ball back and forth. They worked terribly, but we got the hang of it after a while and it was just silly fun.

John had food poisoning or a flu or something that started after leaving Ri-Ra the night before, so we just hung around the house and watched a movie Saturday night.

Chris came to town Saturday night. He, John and I were supposed to be in a scene, to be shot Sunday evening, in Mike McMullin's movie he's been working on, but one of the actors couldn't make it so the shoot was canceled. More just hanging around. I went over to hang out with Rich and Izolda that night instead. We stayed up late chatting.

Rich and Izolda came over here Tuesday night and Izolda and I did DDR and John and Rich played online poker and read poetry together.
 

government that hurts


J: Our congress just passed a bill through two houses (and then it was speedily signed into law by a man who has publicly taunted death row inmates), that essentially says
No wonder I've been feeling sick to my stomach. What a country. Whatever shred of honor our nation once had has been flushed down a prison toilet in Syria.
