It was a really nice day, even though we were both really tired by the end and therefore left a little early. My wife had woken up at 4 a.m. and not slept much thereafter, and I hadn't slept very well in general Friday night, awaking several times convinced it was later than it really was. We had to be up early to be down in Norwood in time for the start of the day's proceedings, and we wanted the dog to get bathed and trimmed this weekend, so he ended up taking a shower with me in the morning. I was still in pretty good shape time wise even after taking the extra time to clean him and get him mostly blown dry.
After getting the car defrosted - and a couple other false starts out the door for sunglasses and what all else - we were on the road just a few minutes later than I'd been hoping for. We're getting to know an increasing number of the couples in the larger community, particularly from down south. I think they especially appreciate when couples from Dayton find it worth their while to make the drive down for things like this. At any rate, I wanted to be early enough to say hi to a few of them before we got started, especially as we had seen several couples the previous week and were looking forward to seeing them again. In fact, all three of the presenting couples from the Weekend were there today.
We got there about halfway into the meet and greet period, but by the time we got checked into the event and placed our food on the snack table, we ended up with just a few minutes to grab a bite or two and a hug or three. The presentations seemed fresh even though we were somewhat familiar with the material. Still, I could tell that my bride was hitting the wall not long after lunch. Since we had plans to eat at a nearby Italian restaurant, we decided to stick it out through the remaining presentations explaining the basic concepts but to leave before the final two, a survey and a wrap-up that we can probably undertake on our own.
