Past
Well, some of y'all did indeed join in the Crest outing last night. Dar-Dar Binks showed up, fresh from filing court papers; Sailor Sue brought along a new friend, a mysterious figure who for now will be known by the nom d'ecran Sailor Carol; JKK was there with not one but two offspring (fine, strapping young men the both of them, btw); there was FOL Catherine, another moovie noobie; and there was an appearance by special guest star Rhymes-with-Theresa! Swell!
If you haven't seen Millions yet, you have a treat waiting for you. It is a wonderful movie. RwT said that it was a very brave film, navigating as it did among themes and situations that presented so many opportunities to fail miserably. But it succeeds - it is well-crafted, engaging, fantastical, real, and very worthwhile. And as much as I hate to agree with Johnbai, Alexander Nathan Etel is just great.
After the movie, a quorum moved over to Sunni's Pizza (which did not appear to adhere to strict Islamic dietary practices) and had a great time. Otis and I had to make a handover rendez-vous with Melvin on the way home, and I expect there will be at least one bleary-eyed massage student in class today.
Present
I am sure some Haiku are percolating in the backs of minds; share, share!
Future
Regarding the Solstice Parade, Di (who should know) has suggested that we need to set up mega-early to claim a "prime" spot for parade viewing (whatever that might be) or just get there when we get there and, as she put it, "crane our necks and have a good time"; there's no middle-ground, as it were - no benefit to getting there a little early. That being the case, I would submit that coffee, mimosas, and whatever other treats we wind up with here on the ridge would be best enjoyed at leisure, followed by a walk down the hill just in time for the parade. So, Casa Phinney will be receiving from 9:30 on next Saturday, with a walk down the hill planned for 11:15. How does that sound?
Rebus-ish
Here are some more "clues" to the kinda big deal, for those who were not at Millions:

Where does this solstice shindig happen, and why has it become so big? Oh, wait, Fremont. Nevermind!
(I have only left above comment intact as a vivid illustration to all who would heed my actions - best not my words - as a warning against tickly-tackly typing before you think!)
