Weekendend

Well, I sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind: it was quite a weekend. Had a good day Friday with housetrivia until the Spokane Gang arrived for dinner: Gweekers, Mikey, and Mama Pattycake. We had great visits and catchings-up, and a wonderful dinner at the Royal Palm down the street, and yummy flavored coffees and tea at home. It was a swell evening all around.

On Saturday, the Spokanites did the Pike Place Market and Otis and I did work, of the school and/or house variety. Errands took us to the University Bookstore, which, while not a successful expedition in and of itself, did lead us to Pizza Brava on the Ave for some delicious slices served by a guy from the Bronx.

Saturday night was the Fwends of Wendy Baldfriend celebration. Her Hipness was greeted upon her return from Iberia by Otis and I and attended solicitiously by Mighty Mel, Dingo, Silvio, Erik, and the late Jag Girl (fleeing a flood). Highlight of the evening: reminiscing. Reminiscing and great food. And drink. Food, drink, and a dicky fireplace. Like that.

Today was Easter, or Eostre, or Sunday the 16th, depending on your wish. One of my comix blogpals posted this; while it is a nice enough tale, I am more inclined to think of it as does Will Shetterly, here. In any event, we went up to Camp Putnam in LFP for some celebratory pizza. Yay!

Man, has the weather this whole weekend been weird, or what? Clouds, rain, hail, wind, cold, sun, heat all in fits and starts. Drivin' me buggy! Here's to a good week.
