Further Sherlocking, Museums & Birthdays
The Lawn Guys showed up at 8:30 this morning, well and truly screwing over my plans to sleep in until at least 9:00, preferably 10:00 if possible. The Yorkie wasn't happy either, airing her grievances at the window whenever they came near with the leaf blowers. Bah.
The wife continued the whole white chocolate mocha latte experiment by making us coffee, so that helped to take the edge off and allowed me to spend some time at the PC, awake and alert enough to polish up another blog post for future publication, then I got a package ready to mail to a friend and dressed to go and hit the Post Office and pick up some lunch for us now that we were getting into the lunch hour.
I mailed the package, then picked up some Mexican take-out for a quick lunch and headed home. I delivered the wife's food to her, then grabbed our mail and had to go and deliver the neighbor's mail to them, as about half of what made it into our mailbox wasn't even ours. Lord knows if we even got everything we were supposed to this afternoon.
I popped in the final episode of Sherlock series one for a re-watch while I ate. The show has held up amazingly well and I'm happy to have had the refresher before watching the 2nd series this weekend. The introduction of Moriarty and the final cliffhanger have the same effect this time around as they did originally, it's quite impressive.
I made myself some tea before I dove into the second series, as I decided that in spite of having a planned marathon watching of them planned for Saturday afternoon, I didn't want to wait to see how this cliffhanger paid off.
Tea in hand, I gave the first episode of the new season a shot, and I'll be damned if they don't continue to be every bit as impressive straight out of the gate. This show blows my mind as far as sly smart action stuff goes, it's just amazing.
That first episode and a few mugs of tea later, it was time to start getting ready for the evening, which included both a museum art opening and a friend's birthday party. I grabbed a shower and shaved, then selected a suit for the evening, though I was a bit conflicted about my choice of sport coat or jacket, as I had two in the running and couldn't nail down which one I preferred. When I finally talked myself into one I found the wife in the Office, killing time on the computer, so we both took a final pass in front of the mirror and headed out.
The museum was up first, with a good turnout for the show and a nicely positive group, shy of two women in particular who always show up to bitch about how state of the museum, so that was a nice too. The new executive director was celebrating his birthday today, so we gave him our birthday greetings after the artist's talk as well as a DVD I had made for him to enjoy as a little surprise. We eventually said our goodbyes and headed out to grab a bite to eat before we went to AGL's birthday party at she and EL's house.
Our first dinner option was a bust, as the wait-list was a bit ridiculous and we didn't want to hang around there all night. We settled for a Mexican place across the tracks where I figured I could at least get a decent burger.
We hit the party for about an hour, mingled as needed, then I finally realized I was standing in the backyard in the chill, watching people throw washers around as part of some game, so I nudged the wife and asked if she was over it too. We said our goodbyes to the birthday girl and then took our leave, arriving home just shy of 10:00 in the evening. We watched the new episode of The Life And Times Of Tim, then pretty much called it a night immediately afterward, as I'm beat, quite frankly.
Be seeing you.
