Weekend

I was going to run after work Friday, but there was only one car in the park’s parking lot. I didn’t want to risk another break in. Will had come home from Athens and got his hair cut. After he and Ceil took M and A down to the church for the weekend retreat, C and W went to Phipps to exchange a shirt, then made a few more stops on their shopping trip. At home I was starving, and ate a leftover quesadilla while I waited. Then we stopped by Old Navy, then ate at Moxie Burger. Even after 8 pm the place was packed. Ceil had a chicken sandwich, Will a burger with pimento cheese, and I had a burger with tomato and BBQ sauce. The fries we shared were good. I thought the onion rings were too skinny. Back home we watched Duck Dynasty.

Will left for Athens at 7 am Saturday. Later he said his interview went well, to become a Resident Advisor in the dorms. If he doesn’t become an RA, he hopes to try out in April to be Hairy Dog. His friend Ben Hoffer had been Hairy, so that connection might help. If Plan A and Plan B don’t work, he may try out for the Club baseball team. He knows someone who plays.

Will is playing intramural basketball with the same guys he played football with, including David Rajecki. Said he’s been making his share of baskets. Will has to come home next weekend for an event in Cartersville.

Ceil and I enjoyed the beautiful day tooling around town. She browsed in her favorite quilt store, and I checked out Marshalls and McDonalds. Then we spent a long time in Kudzu, the Decatur antique store. Next we drove to a store on Howell Mill Road, then up Northside Parkway to an art show at the Trinity School.

We arrived at Nuevo Laredo Cantina just before 5 pm for an early dinner, just ahead of the evening rush. Ceil ordered her usual dish, and I ate a chicken burrito. Sunday I discovered we had just missed seeing old friends Wayne and Becky Smith. They had lunch at Nuevo Laredo with our other college roommate Don Sells, Wayne’s college friend Frank Campos, and their wives. The Smiths live in McDonough and the Sells live in Chattanooga. Wayne ran sound for Revelation and Don played guitar.

Anna sent out a few tweets and instagrams from the retreat. She sent one photo of her and Caroline Hargreaves. Will noted that both girls were wearing his long-sleeve T-shirts. Matthew’s team color was camo, so he got to wear the camo jacket we’d recently picked up at a thrift store,

Didn’t do much Sunday. Watched the Pebble Beach golf tournament, the Grammys, and the movie Valentines Day.
