Monday night I went hardware shopping and visited the theater, where I watched some rehearsal and chickened out of drilling into the cement walls at 9 PM lest I wake the little old lady who lives upstairs. Tuesday and Wednesday I spent time with Laura. Thursday night I went back to Chicago and drilled at 9 PM anyway, 'cause it has to be done. I'm not thrilled with the results, so I'm going back tonight to fill those holes with epoxy and thus ensure the stability of the bolts. Once established we can hang lights directly on them or build a fancy rig and hang the lights from there. Tomorrow I'm going to Faire, then down to the theater (I expect), then home, then packing and resting, and some time after darkish I'll drive to Pennsic. I'll be there until Friday, and I'll leave after Friday's battle. Saturday I expect to be back at work at Faire.
I'm going to miss spending my birthday with my family, which is one of my favorite things about my birthday, but we'll celebrate another time instead. And more, I'll miss my wife at Pennsic where (as everybody knows) we really got to know each other. And shared our first kiss, and got married at the fort. (But our anniversary isn't until the 14th, so at least I won't miss my birthday *and* my anniversary.)
Anyway. Packing up now. Have it good. End of line.
