| Tale of Two Weekends -- #1 |
I'm late writing about last weekend. So...I drove down to Indianapolis, and was delighted to get in one last visit with Meggo and Michael. We all met at the dog park, where we ran their whippet puppy silly.

This woman seems to be the whippet center of attention. I couldn't figure out what contraband she was feeding them while the owners were looking away.

The puppy was exhausted, which gave us a chance to chat, catch up on their lives and mine. We picked up Kathleen and had a very fine dinner near the Keystone section of Indy, then drove along the river to Butler University auditorium for Indy's last opera of the season. La Bohème. It was wonderful, with wonderful singing. The other three didn't care for the overly static, posed (in)action of those on stage but not in the action. I have to agree that it reminded me of a staged R.E.M. video or something. I don't want to spoil the opera's surprise ending but...she dies. Sorry.
Desert at M&M's, then I took Kathleen home. We talked about each other's writing (SHE gets to do it for a living). But driving back I had another idea, to do with the car. I sprung it on them over a nice Sunday buffet (Amazingly, I gained weight from the weekend's nonstop eating). I won't reveal the car secret here. For that you'll have to read an entry soon to be posted. Please do.
