Well, it’s that time of the week again. Time for the old weekend update.
Friday, our friend Jen Weiss came into town from Wisconsin. We hadn’t seen her in about a year, so it was great to catch up with her. We met up at Mex with, more of less, the usual Friday night crew. After Mex, we somehow found ourselves at the Barrel once again. For those of you from Rochester who have experienced the Barrel with us, you know that it’s really like an enigma, wrapped in riddle, wrapped in a rhyme, wrapped in a barrel. On one hand, you know exactly what to expect, but on the other hand, it’s a complete question mark. This night was no exception. It was fun though. We like to show up there, if for no other reason, simply to class that place up a bit. We do it for the community, really.
Saturday, admittedly, is a bit of a blur. Pat and I went to Jines for lunch and then we called up the ‘Micatas to see if they would be interested in a Bloody Mary at Acme. This was around 3 in the afternoon, which is totally legit, due to the nature of the Bloody Mary. Anyhoo, they have two-for-one specials all day long and then somehow I ended up with Amy’s second Long Island Iced Tea. Yes, I said Long Island Iced Tea! After that lapse in judgment, we parted ways for a couple hours. Pat and I went home and rallied, and then the ‘Micatas came over to our place with their friend Alexis. We just kind of hung out for a while, and the good news is that it turned into an early night. But I guess that’s what happens with you start drinking AT THREE IN THE AFTERNOON.
Sunday, we went to the McCarthy household for Easter dinner. As per usual, we had delicious food and wine, as well as my Aunt Marianne’s terrific trifle. The drive home flew by as Pat and I listened to Appetite for Destruction (courtesy of our friend Scott) and chatted about what we plan to do with our (hopefully) new house. We even took a drive by the soon-to-be new homestead on our way home.
So, what did all of you do for this Easter weekend? Don’t be shy! Tell us in our Comments section.

Yeah - the clean hand/dirty hand thing is here. We eat with our right - and well, do other things with the left. If someone attempts to sake your hand with their left, it is considered an insult. I did have to use a few squatters when I left the city over the weekend. It was a little akward, but in all honesty, it is not like toliet seats are all that clean. Squatting just makes it more difficult to hold a magazine :).

dudes,
went to pittsburgh for the resurrection of the lord and savior. thought that maybe the rents forgot that it was almost my birthday, but i couldn't be that lucky. ended up having happy birthday sung to me by all the mexican guys that work at the place we went for dinner and margarita's. i HATE being sung to, HATE IT...but this was the greatest with an upright bass, guitar and funny noisemaker thingies. it was cool. oh, and i almost forgot...they put a GIANT sombrero on my head. everyone in my family is evil...my own mom was laughing so hard she was crying. to cope i just chugged her margarita too!

I have it on good authority that the current members of Brickwindow are suing their former
triangle player, Cimicata, for defamation of their name. Cimicata could not be reached for comment (and he really can't. His contact page doesn't work). If you would like to see his former band and his cool X-buddies, visit brickwindow.net. I wish I was half as cool as Cimicata used to be.

When I spent a short spell in the middle east during Daddy's war, I specifically remember there being NO toilet paper. Their bathrooms we're porcelain holes with steps on each side, and you just squatted and let it go. But then the way you had to clean your butt was horrible. There was a hose that had a trigger on the end of it, and it blasted quick squirts of water. Well, you just squirted a few times, and then pulled up your pants. This went on until our care packages from home arrived, LOADED with toilet paper.
The locals over there have a CLEAN hand and a DIRTY hand, and the dirty hand never comes near the food. It's used for, well, what we use TP for. So Kristen, if they want to shake your hand, and it's the one that's not near the food, they don't like you. Of course, I was living in Bahrain, and your in India, so the whole DIRTY/CLEAN hand thing may not even apply over there, but I'd like to think it does.

I did a puzzle. It's going to be a windmill. After preparing the Easter Ham, I found myself sniffing my fingers for the rest of the day.
