A weekend of travel

Saturday morning we left without jitterbug5bi5, to my disappointment. (It's okay, though; she had some fun this weekend too.) We got to Miami in time to see loucheroo arrive at the party, and went down to Kendall for dinner with Dad and Fran. We were hoping to go back to the party, but since we were sleeping in Kendall (pretty much the opposite end of the metro Miami area), we realized that we'd just about have to turn around as soon as we got there so we could...

Drive to Stuart Sunday morning, have brunch, watch my brother-in-law Devin's confirmation, and listen to some jingo-fascist homily about how great it is that we live in a country where we have the freedom to move around the country, but warning us that we do not have the freedom to do what is wrong.

We found out too late that my dad was planning a bonfire for next weekend, so we could have gone to the party for a much longer time, then spent a bigger chunk of time with him the following week. That would have been a better plan. Oh, if I had a tribble for every missed opportunity...

So that was my weekend. How was yours?

Weekend quote

It says something about Jodi's brothers that this joke got a big laugh:

"You just rolled up something stupid! Wait, it's cousin Dubya! Ohh! Stop getting in the way!"

For Jeff and Jenn

Since Jeff's about six months behind on e-mail, I'll post here. :)

Hey guys! Coverville has two very interesting versions of "Nothing Else Matters" on Coverville 191: Black Sabbath/Metallica Cover Story. Go grab it and take a listen (they start around 28 minutes into the episode). The first one is lush and sentimental, with string instruments out to here. The second one is a cappella. They're both very good.
