dance, stand, move, play
G: I went
to Dance Night at The Conservatory last Sunday, darlings. 'Twas lovely.
During the week I worked on painting an old chair and desk that I wrote
about buying long ago. Some free time, agreeable weather, and some sort
of motivation kicked in and they are coming right along. I'll put them
up in the bedroom when done to hold my infrequently used but totally
disorganized makeup and jewelry in a more organized fashion.
Renata stopped by on Thursday when I was out back painting my chair and
reported that her mom had died that morning. So we hung out and
comforted her and later went to Franklin's to distract her some. She is
holding up very well as far as I can tell.
A whole bunch of people met up at the Hyatt in Bethesda Friday night to
see Chris do a set of stand up in a show there. We brought Kory and
Rich, and met up with Jake, Ingrid, her daughter, Kristin, Alison,
Jenny, and Brenden. We got there early as warned to get good seats, but
apparently they had their slowest night ever and at first we thought we
were going to be the vast majority of the audience with 11 of us. By
the time the show got started there were a few more, but we were
probably almost a third. Easily if you don't count the comedians
themselves. Anyway, it was a good show, and Chris made me laugh the
hardest. Afterwards we hung around chatting, and then our carload plus
Chris wandered over to Jaleo and we all had a nice, expensive meal.
On Saturday John, Chris, and Kory went to help Dave move again, and
when they came back Tom came over and we all played some games. We
played "What's It To Ya" which is kind of a party game. I played a
Hold'em tourney later but was the first one out. John and Kory helped
with more moving the next day, too.

J: It's nice to see that leaders
of our kakistocracy have decided to stop torturing some citizens who
are accused of taking part in traitorous acts, even while incarcerating
and torturing others for years without legal recourse. I applaud their
newfound ability to allow a speedy trial for the accused. But by
letting
the convicted criminal off scott free (scoot free?) they might be going
a
bit far in the other direction.
