No, not blurry due to being obscured by alcohol. It was just jam-packed.
Saturday our marriage encounter group went up to a local lake where one of the couples has a house. Didn't get out on the boat much, as it was having technical difficulties, but still, we had a really wonderful time together.
Yesterday was the Wright Wride. I rode the century option, partly as a training ride for the Old Kentucky Home Tour in two weeks. KY will be my fifth state in which to ride a century. I was really hoping to knock out two more states this season, but that just hasn't panned out. We'll see how the fall shakes out; maybe I'll be able to get Illinois in, as well. Anyway, I love cycling around here. We ran into a guy who had water bottles from Maryland (from the city that hosts the MD century I rode three years ago), where we're both originally from. It prompted some great conversation. He recently moved here from NJ, and was amazed at how we could ride on roads early Sunday morning without seeing any traffic. He said in NJ he always felt lucky to get home alive! Anyway, it got pretty hot by end of the ride, but still and all, another really fabulous day, to make for a super weekend!
Capped it off with a really nice mass yesterday evening (the most important question of our lives: "Who do you say that I am?"), supper with our oldest grandson (I can't believe the boy is 11½ already!), then a visit with the rest of his family when we dropped him off at home.
(Contented sigh . . . )
Sounds like a great time.
ReplyDeleteWe had family day at an Angels game yesterday and then to one of the wife's brother's house for dinner. A good day, too.
Hmmm . . . Rooting for a legitimate pennant contender . . . I remember that, I think . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd you got to see a come-from-behind victory, too! How cool!
C'mon, even I remember the early days of color, daytime, baseball playoffs and Brooks "The Hoover" Robinson, Mark Belanger, Jim Palmer, Elston Howard, Frank Robinson, et al! You had some legitimate contenders. I'm just making up for a lot of lost time.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was an exciting victory.
Then last night we only get one run off of a perennial AAA pitcher for the A's. Geesh. Of course, we had two stupid baserunning plays in the first inning alone. Kinda set the tone for the rest of the game.
be good!
It may be a distant memory, yet still on of my favorites: having them wheel a t.v. into the classroom so that we could watch the start of an afternoon World Series game before the end of the school day.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why you threw that Yankee in there, though . . .
