What a Fall Break I had. Very busy, some fun, some pain, some amazing things to see and hear.
Chronologically:
Monday: met EW for dinner - sushi, very good. Went over to the new Borders store just to browse a bit. A good evening. She brought me some yarn for my Afghan hat project, which was very very sweet and generous of her.
Tuesday: rain in the early morning, then went with AQ to the great State Fair of Texas. Since it had been raining, not many people were there yet. We got a perfect parking spot on the street just across from the main gate. Immediately got ears of corns to munch on. Went to the pig races, then hung out in the childrens barnyard patting adorable animals. Went through the Food & Fiber Building - saw Elsie and Beauregard. Bought emu oil soap. Ate cotton candy. Ate a gordita.
Wednesday: Went to the dentist at 7 a.m. for tooth extraction. T drove me there and back; I remember very little, thanks to the medication. Slept the rest of the morning, messed around online in the afternoon, took pain med.
Thursday: BS came down for the Wilco concert! HG was supposed to come but was unavoidably detained due to stupidity/carelessness on her part. B & I made lovely sandwiches and soup for dinner, headed out to Will Rogers Auditorium. Arrived to find a sea of twenty-somethings clutching Miller Lite bottles. Went inside - opening band was playing but no one was listening, they were all wandering around drinking and talking as if they were at a frat party rather than a concert. Wilco took the stage - crowd stood for the entire show, lots of shouting, singing. the four guys beside us were smashed, apparently, kept shouting "Jeff Tweeeeeddddyyyyyyy" and "Jeff Tweeeeeedy is a godddddddd", dancing, and singing way too loudly. Had a good time anyway.
