Easter Weekend

I went home Fri­day and had a busy week­end stomp­ing around the old stomp­ing grounds, going to Mass for 2.5 hours, snag­ging a Piz­za King piz­za, watch­ing a rug­by game and antiquing. Not in that order

I bailed from work ear­ly on Fri­day and made it home around 5 or so, upon which I was treat­ed to broc­coli cheese soup and gar­licky bread. I then lay around for a bit and went to bed. Sat­ur­day dawned and I futzed around for a few hours before going to some antique stores in my quest to find a damned din­ing table. There was a wood­en table for $32.50 at a lit­tle place down­town, but I had no way to trans­port it up here. I then head­ed for Col­lege Cor­ner and stopped at a cou­ple of places there. Still no dice, although I saw a work table that was exact­ly what I want­ed in the way of a desk, except that it was too short in the legs. Instead I spent two dol­lars on 10 clas­sic sci­ence fic­tion books, includ­ing a first edi­tion of Philip K. Dick­’s Ubik, which I’m going to sell on Ebay.

Then I went to see my friend’s rug­by game at Mia­mi of Ohio. They played in prom dress­es; it was hilar­i­ous and mud­dy. The kick­er on Miami’s team was real­ly hot too. I had a slice of ‘za with the team after­ward but then had to bail because I had 2.5 hours of church to attend. Mass was over around ten and I zonked out imme­di­ate­ly. Sun­day dawned and mom made break­fast piz­za which was rather tasty. I then lay around read­ing some more [the rest of this week will be book reviews] and loaded my car up with my hand carved stone chess set, a bunch of ran­dom clothes, an old stereo with a phono­graph, some old records and my antique gum­ball machine that I’d for­got­ten over Christ­mas. Then I had a tasty East­er din­ner of baked ham, taters au gratin and sug­ar snap peas. Then I did dish­es, hit the road, arrived in Cleve­land around 6:45, unloaded all of my crap, had some left­over soup and went the hell to bed.

Now I’m at work.
