We took control of our dinner plans to preserve something like a date, and concluded it with a nice walk around The Greene on Friday evening. Our bike ride on Saturday morning was rained out - well, "wet grounded," actually, as the rain had stopped well before we'd have been riding. I hauled a few scaffold boards over to our friend's house to get her snowblower unloaded from her pickup truck, then joined her and her family at the market, to be some company for her partner's dad, mostly. Then the stumble, when I started speaking without realizing how the words would trigger my frustration over something that is really so small that I can't believe we're still dealing with it. I had to retreat for a while, and apologized.
I poured myself a my newly-traditional mint julep - a long-standing tradition in the area, but new last year to me - later in the afternoon, and watched the Derby. We took in The Avengers in the evening - okay, the snob in me thinks I should have hated it, but I just couldn't!
Sunday was an early Mass at which I canted again - two weeks in a row after not at all for probably a couple years - after which I made sure the next Mass was covered before taking it off for a vigorous bike ride. First Communion in the afternoon, after which I learned the Caps tied their series. Hung out with our friends into the evening, and followed the remarkable Orioles' game on my phone. Wow. Then an evening of a couple TV programs together.
