Feel awful tired this evening... sleepy. I laid down to take a nap around 3 this afternoon and slept a little over an hour. A phone call woke me up before I was ready to return to action. But, duty called. Well actually dinner called. Much better than duty.

I went over to Mike's for dinner around 5. Jim and Jes were there. Hung out with everyone while dinner was made. This was the last pre-Zone meal so Mike was making it carb-crazy... yummy bread, and 2 kinds of pasta with which to sample these 3 different pestos he had made. Before the meal we had some trampoline action, and after the dinner I took Jim and Jes for a ride in the Prius. Jes was sick so we dropped her off then cruised around some. Jim seemed to approve of the car which was nice, since he had been against me getting such an expensive machine.

Later I worked on a jigsaw with Jacob and told him some more story. It is flattering how much he enjoys them. He has decided that the Blue Knight needs to be promoted to the Golden Knight (Gold Knight?). It's funny to me how at 5 (well his fifth birthday is in a week... I need to pick up a gift or two for him this week actually) he doesn't have the same idea of a sort of fairy tale setting that someone a little older would have. He thinks the Blue Knight should have a cell phone for example. And when the Blue Knight went out to capture the infamous pirate captain Squidneck McBeck in the last story, Jacob informed me that the Blue Knight had a jet ski with lasers. Made the fight sort of one-sided and a little more abrupt than what I had originally imagined.

After they put the kids down, Mike and Jim and I walked around Mike's yard for awhile. We wanted to go see the Perseids meteor shower, but Mike felt like he needed to hang with the missus, and we also weren't sure how far we'd have to go, or how late we would need to stay up, to see a real show. So we wound up calling it a night early. I was a little bummed, but Mike and I are gonna go see what we can see Monday night around midnight, so hopefully that will be fun. I do wish that I had a chum or two who would be willing to go out someplace dark with me tonight, and lay down in the grass and watch for shooting stars. But for now here I am back in my LiveJournal world, capering for your amusement. Oh won't you see how I caper?
