Awake: 7:13am Temp 63 sleep 6+24 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.
K & I walk to church this morning & attend 8:00am Mass; afterward, we assemble outside with some of my classmates & chat about our reunion last night. I think most of us really enjoyed the evening. We were with the small crowd that closed the place down last night & now today, K & I were the last to leave the church gab session.
Kathy makes a delicious breakfast of (2) eggs over easy with pork sausage & ham slices + whole grain bread.
Gary C. calls: he is curious of how our 50th class reunion went; I told him the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth & he approved of my message.
I had a delightful surprise a week ago today. I e-mailed a close friend & his wife, inviting them to join us in Nicktown for the annual Homecoming Festival weekend….thinking, with their close family ties & the holiday, it’ll never happen. Well bite my tongue! They will soon be joining us; so I start calling hotels, motels, & B & B’s in the local area & then send M & J the info, including mileage so they can select their own hangout for the weekend.
My bro calls: he explains why he missed his class reunion last night; many of his classmates @ the reunion asked me why my brother Don was absent. His story sounded legitimate to me….but will his classmates agree?
Dinner: veggie macaroni & cheese, kosher hot dog, fresh ears of corn from my cousin Florentz & fruit salad.
We talk with Katrina; school starts tomorrow for her & she has been very busy, hiking, biking etc & getting the most out of her summer vacation.
DVR movie with popcorn: “Plaza Suite” with Walter Matthau, Maureen Stapleton, Barbara Harris, Lee Grant, etc. One of Neil Simon’s funniest plays well adapted to screen. Three separate stories about people staying in certain room @ famed N.Y.C. hotel, with Matthau in all three vignettes. Best one is the last, with Matthau as flustered father of a reluctant bride. 1971. I am not necessarily a Matthau fan so neither of these (3) skits brought many laughs from my side of the room.
After that, we watch some of the closing of the Beijing Olympics Ceremony.
Lights out: 12:05am
