Much like last Saturday was practice for the concert at Seton Parish, this morning was a bunch of practice of the drama we're doing in church tomorrow. The story of Esther. I know the songs and lines of other people much better than I know the ones I'm supposed to be doing. Looking back over the last month, it seems like we rehearsed the scenes and ( Read more... )

The spring edition of the bowling league I've been participating in started today. I started this one where I averaged the last one; it would have been nice to pick up right where I'd left off, with that nearly 150, but it wasn't to be. Still, it felt good to pick up that bit community again. I have a new partner this season, as Jim prefers not to ( Read more... )

The day started late yet again. It never rains but it pours. I got to church midway through the sermon, so no choir. Play practice afterward, feel free to come see our bathrobe drama next Sunday. In the afternoon there was the mass choir concert at Seton Parish. Always fun singing.

The second of two mass choir rehearsals was this morning at nine. I appeared at ten. One time is an accident, twice is a coincidence... I made up for it by staying after and listening to some of the other groups that will be performing individually, and then going out to a long lunch with Susan. I hope it was as relaxing for her as it was for me, I ( Read more... )

In attempt number two to meet a girl from Aetolia, I hung out at a bar with Corey in DC. Fado's it was. Had a few beers while waiting for her to appear. She did call and say she'd be late, and then still didn't appear. While there, I dropped a pint. Well, half a pint. Horridly embarrassing, I seemingly cannot hold my alcohol. We eventually went ( Read more... )

I missed handbell practice this evening. I called Mom around quarter to six, saying that I was just about to leave (which would put me at the church when practice started), and then stayed at work another hour. I'm not sure if it counts as being "late", as I didn't appear at the church until the start of vocal choir. In any event, the hour extra I ( Read more... )

I got gigged at work today for wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt instead of something with a collar. Who knew? Turtlenecks are certainly allowed, but I think I'm getting tired of wearing them. I worried my boss for a moment when I asked him (in response to the challenge on my shirt) for a copy of the dress code, but I just want to see something ( Read more... )

Had the stitches removed from my finger today. Spent quite a bit more time filling out insurance/info paperwork at the doctor's office than I did waiting to be seen or getting the twine out ( Read more... )

Resolution update:

Exercise:

• Still taking the stairs. Not much else.
  

Social:

• No new social networks joined.
  

Time:

• There haven't been any major time gaffes that I, uh, remember.
  

On the whole, I don't seem to be doing very well.

Shot some hoops with various little kiddies after play practice ended. It felt mobile, good. Admittedly, I had something of an advantage over them.
