The best laid plans
I can't use that phrase these days without thinking of Eddie Izzard's routine. (Are these your plans? Yes, our best laid plans...)
Anyway.
Dawnise and I had planned to head to the Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire in Gig Harbor this weekend; and our friends Scott & Amanda were going to come down from Vancouver and join us.
Turned out they had a visitor from out of town and had to wave off, and I ended up throwing my back out on my way home Friday night doing something completely ordinary (putting the bike up on the center stand).
So with me not being able to move much, the weekend sorta got scrambled.
We hung out at home on Saturday, leaving only to go to the Edge Improve that evening. It was amusing, though they were a bit off (the hazards of live improvisational comedy).
Sunday, as I was able to get 'round a bit more, we did some shopping - including a trip to Costco where I got to see the Vizio 50" plasma display we're considering buying when it goes on special in a few weeks. It looks good - pretty close to the other displays it was displayed with - most of which were more expensive and/or smaller. Seems like it's worth a go, at any rate.
Sunday evening we took the ferry over and had a low-key BBQ with friends in the city. Took a late ferry back, got to bed around midnight, and managed to drag myself out of bed this morning in time to catch my normal boat.
