( Friday 10/21 )

Had a pretty great weekend, and it would be a shame if I didn't take the opportunity to write some of it down, even if I'm awfully tired today and may not be as lucid as normal. (Insert ranting about 8:37 first pitches for a team who easily averages 3:20 for a 9 inning game here.)

I really wish I'd had more time to spare the past few days; some interesting stuff has happened. I'll try to cover at least some amusing and/or important stuff that's happened lately.

I have a lot of catch-up to do that I've been steadily working on... I'll be starting with the Billy Joel / Elton John concert from May 19, which deserves its own entry.

Been trying to get notes done for last weekend (a visit from the in-laws), but it's been a little insane; one of my coworkers is filling out retirement papers out of the blue, which has thrown our department into a bit of a tizzy ( Read more... )

Time to catch up on the previous weekend, as well as some other stuff...

First off, from the DSi weekend, I forgot to mention the two traffic incidents we witnessed. As we were coming up on I-65 to go north toward Plainfield, the traffic on I-65 south on the Main Street bridge was at a virtual standstill:

falcon815: Wow. I wonder what the deal is.
