This Month So Far
“Lost” - Blah. Tim heard on the radio ahead of time that more would happen in each episode than in all of last season. Oh, puh-lease.
Celtic Weekend at the Ren Fest - A little rainy, but I think that works for it. We saw a joust and a Scottish caber toss. Tim finally saw someone he knew. Usually when we go out, it’s I who meets a friend. On our way to the festival we had a little car adventure. We took the van because that’s where the carseat was. We’d had our car in the shop for stuff and though we’d gotten it back, the wheel made a weird noise so Tim wanted to avoid driving it. We knew there was a headlight out. On the main community road, there was a police officer just sitting in the lane, making traffic funky. He moved though still oddly placed and we passed him. Naturally, he pulled us over. He asked if we knew why, Tim mentioned the light. When Tim gave him the registration, it was out of date. Mom thinks she tore up the wrong one, though the stickers were up to date. He gave us a break on that but gave us a repair order. We went back home to take our car. Before we left, Tim checked the registration, from 2002!! We went back inside and Mom went online for temporary renewals. We finally made it out and had a nice time.
“Wine and Cheese Reception” with R-MWC’s Interim President Worden - Nothing earth-shattering. I didn’t hear anything that really made me feel better. I do however, feel for President Worden. She’s got a hard job to do and a lot of people are upset. Some women asked some good questions. One was about numbers, we don’t understand what we’ve read. That’s true for me and I don’t feel any differently now. I did learn that R-MC gave the right use use R-M when William Waugh Smith originally founded R-MWC. Now that the College will change, the right is being taken away. New name suggestions are needed. So far they have Conway College or Quillian College. I left at the scheduled 8:30 but it was still going strong. I saw Surayyah. Thankfully we’re going to Pilobolus so I’ll get to spend time with her. Sara Ellen did wonderfully. Making just a little noise, she played with my sweater, the sling, ate cheerioes and crawled around between Surayyah (two seats down, empty seat between us) and Katherine Anderson next to me. There was actually another baby who also did well. I had parked at the New Carrolton metro station and Sara Ellen did well going both ways, falling asleep before arriving on our way home.
The 14th is the Scottish Highland Games - honestly rather disappointing but a beautiful day and nice family outting before spending the evening with Tim’s parents and JP.
Also yesterday, Blythe moved to Charleston, South Carolina. I’m really happy for her but I’ll miss her.
