A few good things going on this past week – mostly un-photographed so you’ll have to take my word for it.
- Met up with Nathan and Koli to learn Turtledactyl by Too Many Zoos. Great to have a good reason to hang out together and even better to have a reason to play music with people. It’s too rare.
- Went on some walks/runs and snapped some pics of plants in my yard and out in the wild. The Blue Verbain is really cool. From afar this plant looks very much like a weed but man there are some cool “weeds” if you slow down and look.
- Started reading (listening to) “Galahad and the Grail” by Malcolm Guite. I think Guite may be Bilbo Baggins reincarnated? This is listed as poetry and retells the story of the grail in rhyming verse. (much better in audio)
- Marcus told us he got a full-time job offer from the company he has been interning with the past couple summers. This was very good news! It’s a great place to work and we are really happy for him.
- Finished a rewatch of Ted Lasso with Danette and Marcus. Man that’s a good show – Season 4 starts next month
- Took the day off to go to lunch with Danette on Friday – the weather got suddenly cool so we went down to old town and walked around.
- Bought a new journal. My “journals” are full of random crap… mostly incoherrent and largely illegible. Sketches, to-do lists, whingeing, etc…But it’s something I’ve always done (reach for a notebook to write crap in) and I do enjoy looking back through the ones I still have.
- Watched Leeds United lose to Wrexham in a friendly on Saturday night. Glad we are getting close the start of the regular season. Watching Leeds has been a fun bright spot the past couple years.
- Got out on the water (twice) – Burke Lake Fishing with Ryan on Saturday AM and Occoquan with Danette, Ryan and Ann on Sunday.
- Also on Sunday, caught a Washington Spirit game at Audi field with my brothers, Brooke, Mehgan and Charlie. Drank a little too much (maybe.)
