Ah, the weekend

We're down one kid for the weekend. Alison went on a UU weekend to Oklahoma City, to a youth group con. She loved the last one the attended. The van was to leave at 6.30 last night, so they said to arrive around 6 and get everything loaded up. We were there just after 6 and no one else was there — Alison panicked and Gary was searching frantically for a cell phone number. I told them both to just chill — we don't have to go all type A and start dialing the minute — nay, the second — we suspect something isn't right. Sure enough, minutes later someone showed up. This is a UU group, after all (!)

Last night Maddie and I (and sometimes Gary) watched the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice — loved it! Loved everything about it, from the dialogue (excellent adaptation) to the costumes to the actors. Colin Firth IS Mr. Darcy. Alison wants to watch the new version, and we will (the Netflix arrived!) Though I've heard it isn't nearly as good ... we shall see.

Should be out helping clean out the garage, but I needed a breather.

It's 90 out today; good day for a pool. Sigh ... is this my biggest problem these days? That I have no back yard pool? Exactly.

Back to the garage; real work beckons.
