Waco

I skipped work on Friday (of course, it turned out that the boss picked that day to send me the grant for proofing) and took off for Waco, arriving in town in time to get some work done on my muffler (so that my car will pass inspection next month) and to grab a gut pack from Vitek's (mmm... Vitek's). Had dinner with Mom and Rebecca, picked up some stuff for Father's day and some groceries, and then went out for drinks with Rebecca.

Got a haircut Saturday and then went to Leslie's wedding. It was nice to see a pretty good number of the old Seventh crew there (Bryan & Lisa, Phil & Kelly, Helen, Katy, Brianne, etc.). We went for Ninfa's afterwards and then Cricket's, where darts were played and Chrissy managed to miss the dart board by an astounding seven or eight vertical feet, landing it in the wall out of even Bryan's reach.

Sunday brought church (struggled to stay awake, as I usally do in church, lab meeting, class, or any such occasion)—where I briefly ran into Robyn—and then lunch with the family and the return to Houston. Went for a couple of beers with Will.

All in all, a low-key but enjoyable weekend.
