Whew, a busy weekend. Mom was here for a visit, and we had lots of fun. We had some cake to celebrate her birthday. Also, it was our treat to go see Mamma Mia on Saturday afternoon. It was a bit more risque in spots than I had anticipated, and I could've done without that. But, the music was the big draw, and it was boatloads of fun. Then, we followed that up with an amazing, delicious Peruvian meal at Machu Picchu, a restuarant on Lyn-Lake, right across the street from It's Greek To Me. Excellent seafood, and I had a delicious chicken-shrimp dish.
(And thanks to Mom for staying an extra night so she could watch the kids during the business meeting.)
The seats for Mamma Mia weren't the best. They were sold as limited viewing, and that was the case. We were on the side, and the chairs in front weren't low enough, so seeing around people was aggravating. That must have been about the only seats left, as I tried to get others. And it did look full in there.
From my seat, I could see down into the orchestra pit. There was a guy on one of the keyboards, and he didn't seem to play as much as the others. So, when his bit was finished, he'd pick up the Star Tribune and start reading, even if the song was still going, or while the scenes on stage were going on. Weird.
Then, Sunday night was the business meeting at church, which I moderated as chairman of the deacon board. An interesting meeting. Hopefully, the important things decided there will help settle some issues.
I didn't sleep much Sunday night, so I watched the football games I'd taped. Or most of them. The Eagles and Patriots looked tough, but I give the edge to the Patriots.
Last night we had a lovely dinner at the home of one of the Trustees. Great meal and conversation.
Friday was the first day of school for the new semester. Three classes this time around. Looks like it will an enjoyable time. Hard to get back into the swing of things, though. Gotta start doing the reading again. Lots of it to do.
Hopefully I'll be able to watch 24 tonight. We'll do our usual Tuesday night swimming at the Y.
