with the weekend coming up and the chances of me posting during the weekend unlikely, i figured one more post was in the offing. (of course, i'll be spending this time with at least two of my most loyal readers, so there's probably not much benefit in this post at all. then again, there's never really a point, right?)

here's how to best recap the weekend that's been over for three days: it was about 430 or 5 in the morning on sunday, and i was making the return walk home to the gurs pad. and i turned to gurs and i said, "do you realize how lucky you are that you get to have this much fun all the time?" and he corrected me to say that that extreme amount of fun was probably no more than a monthly, or at least a bi-weekly activity.

but it was real, real fun.

there was no low point, although rolling around in my filth on saturday (a day that saw me hop into the shower at about 7 pm) could serve as one. watching football with leo and eric and gurs. rocking out for a total of about six hours, with a (still) sore throat to prove it. reveling in the joy of bob's "six high fives and two beers." getting so sweaty that my shirt actually frosted during the walk sunday night's walk from the abbey put to the car, which was two blocks away. even the drive to o'hare with rico...although i embarrassingly got slightly lost, it only gave us more time to talk, so that worked out great.

and now thanksgiving promises to be a whirlwind of sorts, as i'm expected to see time in annawan, illinois; ann arbor, michigan; lansing, michigan; chicago, illinois; and glenview, illinois. nemo and unstadt on the docket for tomorrow night, the second year of a tradition, apparently.

michigan has more coastline than california. who knew?
