weekend update

friday
last day of work
they gave me some starbucks alcohol for a parting gift.
had dinner with the jones's in west seattle. laura is in town! she's one of my dear friends from high school.
went to cafe diablo on queen anne and talked about married life.
went to the 5 spot and had HORRIBLE mojitos. the cuba libre (aka rum and coke) wasn't worth 5 bucks, but it was okay. also saw michael mcmurry, another high school chum.

saturday
walked to the udistrict. bought some books and ate a chocolate raspberry brownie. SO THAT'S WHERE THE CHUNKY BELLY SYNDROME COMES FROM! walked back and was kinda bummed. damn, but this drought has been rough.

sunday
got up and went to the danskin triathlon at genessee park to support liz. and get some skin cancer as i didn't even think about putting sunscreen on. this is seattle, for chrissakes!

afterwards, her friend mike dropped us off at volunteer park where we hung out with some old friends. deb & nicole, jen & julia, crosta and amy and joe. some older guy walked up and asked if we with the presbytarian group. the ladies said no, but he should check on the other side of the road. as he walked away, jen said "we're of the lesbytarian church, not presbytarian." damn, but i do love me some lesbytarians.

in sad news, it seems deb & nicole's kitty (ginger) is on her last legs. joe, ever the dear friend, has volunteered to put the cat down. it seems diabetes, a tumor and kitty laryngitis haven't been quite enough to choke the life force from it's tiny body. sad.

got home. talked to jeff about job, life, family, etc. took a nap. woke up and did laundry, then went for a walk. talked to niken and then vanessa. niken is fine in the woodlands. tomorrow is vanescha's first day of law school at university of new mex in albuquerque (i don't think i spelled that correctly). so she's already doing homework. blech.
