… was great! colgaffneyis put on a great show, worked well with the other participants, and everybody had a good time. I must have worked hard, because I am already feeling muscle aches all over. Usually that does not happen until the next morning. Tired now. I may post more tomorrow, if I can move.
I usually avoid memes, but could not resist the subject of this one :-)> Continue reading

After I got home mia_mcdavid and I went to colgaffneyis work party to load our newly repaired trailer for the Farmington show this weekend. There were enough people, all in good spirits, so this went well. Just took a while because we had changed how we pack for shows, and twolodge had to rethink how to load the stuff. Since he will be towing the trailer with his truck, he gets to have it loaded just the way he wants :-)>
Afterwards c_nocturnum, her husband, Mia, James, and I went out to dinner at the Bulldog Restaurant a couple miles away. This was a delayed birthday dinner for me. Excellent beer, food, and company. I had a Kobe beef hamburgers (rare) and French fries with Parmesan cheese and truffles. First time I ever had Kobe beef, and it lived up to expectations. Kobe beef and truffles–I was reminded of a line from one of Poul Anderson’s SF stories about Dominic Flandry: “What is the point of living in a decadent age if you don’t know how to enjoy the decadence?”
I spent my lunch hour at the Hennepin County Law Library. Not for any legal business–I brought some of my Irish books and notes there to prepare for tonight’s class. If I had stayed at my desk somebody would have interrupted me. It was pleasant and productive. I like libraries.
