Pictures from last weekend are up! Click on the thumbnail to visit a brand-new, extensively commented gallery featuring 81 of the best shots from Hil and Bri’s short-but-sweet stay.
Had quite the long weekend — starting with disc golf in St Pete with Helen and her coworker Chris on Friday, followed by an evening of watching the Canucks play the Flames over at the Paddywagon with Cam and Darren. Had a lengthy chat with Jim after I got home, taking me right up until 4am. Spent Saturday morning sleeping in, then it was over to Darren’s to watch the last bit of Game 2 of the Islanders–Lightning series. Immediately after that, met up with Eric G and headed up to St. Pete for a great Easter BBQ at John and Ivee’s place. Cam wrote up a bit on the evening; I managed to get in a few shots before my battery ran out, too. It was a good time; we emptied a keg of Guinness! And I got to see a few faces I hadn’t seen for a good half year, as well a few I’d seen more recently. And today I posted photos from the Easter BBQ, took in a round of disc golf with Amy and Erik (which wasn’t without its drama: Amy nearly lost her sunglasses!), played Ultimate for a grueling three high-humidity hours (I went through an entire 1.5L bottle of Gatorade), and immediately went over to Jeff’s with Cam, Kemp and Kai for another installment of his now-famous BBQ cookouts. Good ol’ fashioned comfort food. After Jeff was finished (took repeated mentions of “I’m really full Jeff!”) I could barely move.
I had:
-500 ml bottle of gatorade ice
-corn chips and cheese dip
-shrimp and dip
-green salad and sesame oil/ginger dressing
-pep and cheese rip and dip
-margarita
-two “dirty girl scouts” (mint-cream shots, Jeff’s creation I think)
-beer
-cheese brat and bun
-k&k brat and bun
-coffee
-cheesecake
We watched two movies — Swat (so-so) and The Rundown (fun!), starring The Rock — while we ate, which was really nice viewing on his new TV and still-great stereo. Thanks again Jeff for the great evening.
And with that, I’m hitting the hay — it’s waaaay past my bedtime.

Wow, it’s a new day here in Sarasota. Good Friday. I can tell you it’s definitely a good because I have the day off.
Plans: 1 pm, disc golf at Maximo Park, movie at Cam’s, then “dancing” or somesuch thing. 🙂 We’ll see. Last time I didn’t fare so well. 😀
I should be getting pictures from Hil and Bri’s trip up in the next day or two, watch this spot!
