Friday: Post-launch drinking festivities with co-workers (yay, the new AOL Greetings site is live!) blurred pleasantly into dinner and beverages of various and sundry natures with aquamindy, reasie, oogby, and trenchcloak, followed by a couple of rounds of Apples to Apples back at our place. Lots of fun all around.

Saturday: Slept in, got a haircut, did some errands, and drove down to the West Point Market in Akron to aquire cheese and similar tasty comestibles. Had a lovely movie night with equally lovely aquamindy: a nice Barbaresco, cheeses, olives, bread, grapes, and Spartacus. Liz decided the evening required some bubbly to achieve completeness, and so it was that I had an excellent Saturday night…

…And a mostly non-existant Sunday: Slept until about twelve-thirty, took some Advil, ate some bread, drank some orange juice, and went back to sleep. By six PM, I was starting to feel human again, so I got cleaned up and we dashed off downtown for the Indians game; work had rewarded me with a pair of tickets, and on a perfect day like yesterday, such an opportunity was not to be ignored. We had good seats, the weather was amazing, the crowd was excited (once the dreaded “wave” got started, it went fully around the ballpark six or seven times before dying out), and the Tribe played like the good ol’ days–the final score was 12 to 4. A great way to cap off a relaxing, fun weekend.

The Cubs lost last night, despite a stunning rally in the bottom of the ninth inning.

To assuage my pain, I now present a message to the citizens of California:

<Nelson>
HA-ha!

Thank you, that is all.

Okay, sports fans, it’s official — Cleveland weather sucks ass! Opening day at Jacobs Field (where all of AG.com was headed tomorrow as a company reward/party) has been cancelled, since we are now expecting 3-6 inches of snow! They are rescheduling the game for Tuesday afternoon, so we will probably at least get to go… Though in a sharp twist of irony, the conference call that I asked people to reschedule is going to have to be rescheduled again (originally on Monday due to forgetfulness, it was moved to Tuesday afternoon — d’oh!). Ha ha. Okay, maybe it’s only funny to me, and a handful of people at work who (probably) don’t read this.
