Meanwhile, back at the Memorial Day shindig…

When last we left our intrepid heroes, we were about to head out on Saturday. Partran and Linnaeus have written up our exploits of that day. The homemade Mongolian barbeque worked surprisingly well – Brophey, Hartree, and Partran helped with cooking, bless their hearts, and everyone was well-fed by a decent hour, even. We’ll definitely be doing that again.

On Sunday, we didn’t go to see Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron as planned – inertia was too strong, and interest didn’t seem too strong. Instead, a portion of the group took off to the White Rabbit Bookstore in Raleigh while another part stayed close to home, except for a quick trip to the store. Much fun was had at White Rabbit and I’m sure we amused the people there as well 🙂 We returned and we fired up the grill, making a big ol’ pile of hamburgers, hot dogs, and sausages. After that we entertained ourselves with several rounds of Ultimate Outburst and general socializing. Not a whole lot got accomplished, but we really enjoyed ourselves.

And then we have today. Folks started waking up at around 10 or 11, and Partran and I made up some bacon and eggs for everyone. Since then we’ve been kinda hanging out, watching goodies on the Tivo (“So Graham Norton” is a hoot!), and wondering what we’re going to do. Another attempt at Spirit was suggested, but then we started watching the Nightline town hall on being gay in America and it’s been very interesting, even listening to the differing opinions even here in the living room.

So what’s up from here? Maybe some swimming, maybe just enjoying the company some more. Pork chops on the grill tonight, though we need to figure out what we’re having with them.

P.S. – Rashomon was a 1950 film by Akira Kurosawa in which one event is told from multiple points of view 🙂
