Day of WIN
WOW. I had a DAMN good day. Start to finish. Excellent. Brilliant. Well-played.
Out of euphemisms.
Managed to get up, get coffeed, get Yoric up and out and on the road. Got to Wabasha city, found the camera lecture. Good basic photography stuff, followed by an HOUR of photographing a VERY photogenic eagle. Killed 3 rolls (yes, ROLLS, kicking it old-school) on her.
More photography stuff, which I didn't understand as well, as there were numbers involved. Really, I have a phobia or something.
Then lunch, which was an awesome pizzeria, where we had gyros. Also, there is a dude in downtown Wabasha who sells Japanese wedding kimonos. IN WABASHA. They are mind-blowingly beautiful; also, incredibly expensive. I would like one some day. To LOOK at, hang on the wall, NOT to wear. He had some genuine antiques in there, a pair of men's kimonos from the 1820s.
Back with camera group, and a field trip to see if we could spot some wild eagles. Saw some in the distance, but DID see an opossum up close.
Trip back to the Cities, AND I got a nap.
Dressed for Manna's Unbirthday Tea Party, went to said party, partied amid much hilarity. Kudos to all the brilliant folks who helped/assisted/cooked/cleaned up, etc. IT WAS AWESOME. And, as Manna said, "I love the fact that people are leaving my party clutching lamps."
Home to drop off party loot, then Rosedale for Alice in Wonderland in IMAX 3D. Still processing, but initial thoughts are good - the look was very fun, SNAPPY dialogue, and good story. Also, EXCELLENT casting choices. A quality fun time.
Off to retrieve the Bunny from Mom's, where she languished all day. She came running, got picked up by her papa, and that was all, she was done.
Home to salad, cheesecake, TV and computers.
Days like this remind that it IS possible to have an awesome day that is not screwed up by some trivial detail. Been having some of those lately.
Good friends, interesting times, quality experiences. I am pleased.
