Jenny (erins roommates) cats with bubblesWritten on May 30:
Had one of those days yesterday. Was: running late, getting soaked in the rain, oversleeping, needing a jump for my car, not able to find anything, needing to take apart my mothers car to get at her battery, still getting soaked in the rain.....
but finally made it Milwaukee okay. Saw Erin, Jenny, and Jake last night for drinks on Water Street (which I almost found all by myself). SOOO HAPPY to see Erin, and am sad I won't be around this summer for birthday camping, lake trips and so on.
I always like being in Milwaukee because its an in between city: not vacation but it's not home. I know my way around, but couldn't give directions. I have some really great friends who live here, but I can walk down the street and easily not run into someone I know. I have a lot of fun memories in this city of concerts, shows and parties and have also spent a lot of forgettable but not meaningless time hanging out and doing nothing - I think I would like this city itself even if I didn't have so many people I care about here.
Ball Game
The only ball game I saw that weekend was the one I played, I do not remember what it is called, yard ball maybe? you get 3pts for the top post, 2pts for the middel, and 1 for the bottom. You want to win by scoring exactly 20pts Going to Riversplash tonight or tomorrow (or both)....I think it's a standard WI festival affair. Music and lots of beer, should be fun. Excited to see more Milwaukee friends and to see the McCabes in Fontana on Sunday for aunt Nancy's birthday.
Update:
Friday: almost went to the Brewers game, just made it to talegating in the parking lot. Almost went to a barn party, just stayed at Riversplash. Saturday: almost made it on a Brewery Tour (times and other complecations prevented Erin and I from taking it), made it to Sex and the City Movie at the Orential theatre (wish the pictures came out- it is SUCH a cool theatre), made it late to Rivesplash but could not dance because someone got shot (in the foot I think). Erin and I just realised if we planned it, it was not going to happen
Was REALLY nice to see the McCabes for Nancys b-day. Had great steak. Went on a walk into Fontana. Got some good teaching ideas from Michaela (who is growing into such a cool little lady person). Was the perfact send off to Italy!
