Life intrudes

Sorry for the sporadic posting here of late. Despite my best intentions, my normal schedule has been a bit disrupted. Unfortunately, the blog has borne the brunt of my bad timing failures. I promised a post on Friday’s jungle hike and it’s coming. Tomorrow I hope.

So if I’ve been so busy that I can’t write about life’s intrusions it must be some pretty interesting stuff, right? Well, I’ll let you be the judge of that.

Friday’s hike was long and hard. Once I got home I only had time for a quick nap, a shower, then off to the darts tourney. Finished third.

Saturday morning I walked the trail we are planning for Monday’s Hash (I’m co-Hare for that). When I got home I did a post here about some things that have been on my mind other than the usual walking and drinking shit I write about.

***And I used my leftover burrito ingredients to make myself a nacho lunch.***

Then I had to prepare myself for an afternoon birthday party here in the neighborhood. By the time I got home, I was in no condition to write anything here.

Here are a few photos from the party:

***Heidi’s house is one of the nicest in the neighborhood. We did the party up on the open-air third floor which is set up like a bar/resto.***

***Ricky, the birthday boy. Well, he turned 50 so boy might be an overstatement.***

***I’m no snob but I found myself looking down on the pool.***

***Our hosts grilled up some chicken…***

The food was all great, the company and banter were fun, and I wound up having a really nice time. I guess the takeaway feeling I had was a sense of belonging. I feel at home here now. This is my life and I mostly like it.

This morning I woke up a little bit later than usual, walked the dogs, then headed out for a quick breakfast at Jewel Cafe.

***I opted for a club sandwich. Hey, it had egg on it so that qualifies as breakfast, right?***

After I ate, I met up with my co-Hare, Pubic Head, and we marked our trail for tomorrow’s Hash. This is our annual Candy Run and we’ll be walking the streets of Barretto handing out sweets to the kiddies. And yes, Santa has confirmed he will be joining us for the hike!

Got home, took a nap, showered up, and rushed over to Alley Cats for my Barretto Singles League dart match.

***The games were a lot closer than the score would indicate. I was pleased though to have thrown some pretty consistently good darts.***

On the way home after the match, I popped into The Pub restaurant and ordered me up some Korean style chicken wings to go. Had a beer and a nice chat with the owner, John Kim.

The wings aren’t technically on the menu, you have to ask for them. John says he tries to update the menu every couple of months based on what’s popular. I’m going to have to ask for some bulgogi next time I think.

***Chicken and broccoli, how can you go wrong with that?***

So that’s what’s been intruding on my blogging time. I appreciate your indulgence. I’m going to do my best to get the jungle post done in the morning before the Hash.

See you then!

Long Time Gone
