Boundless is my hypocrisy

Here I am, Mr. I should blog every day... ok, the past two nights I was helping a friend fix his house up -- just bought a fixer-upper in West Park) and at night he has been repairing it... so there I was, helping watch kids and removing drywall with the hammer, and it was highly therapeutic, though I was feeling it this morning.  But it was good, and I didn't mind doing it...

As for the rest of the weekend, it was...fine?  Caught up on the OC budget and paperwork stuff for this week's Board meeting (we are closed this weekend, so I could get it in early).  OC duty yesterday was fine -- we had to get rid ALL of the produce, which we did, and went beyond -- did some cleaning, purged some crap, put up signs, that sort of thing.  It was good to see the empty OC this morning.  The crowd was 134 -- early rush, late rush, and then a lull in the middle.  The count for the month ended up being average.  We had an uptick in the number of pain-in-the-dupa clients, but overall...it was fine.

Yesterday I went to the Egyptian festival at the Coptic Church in my area...I didn't get the church tour due to scheduling (oi) but I did get some food.  It was...good not great?  Bit pricey?  One thing I noted was how they did the food ordering; basically, you had to order it at one place, they gave you a receipt, and then you took the receipt to the station where the food was made.  I did some pre-scouting to inform my choice but I could not help but note that the process was...slow.  And, I came at about 2:30, so there was hardly a line.  I suspect we will not do such a thing for the Polish Festival, but....never say never.  Would I go back?  Maybe.  I do want to see the tour, of course.  This weekend is St. Rocco's festival, and it is not like they open the church, either.

Need to do more reading of course but I am halfway through my current one:  The Sea Peoples, which is about Polynesians, or more appropriately, how Europeans reacted to them -- like, how they got there -- and how they tried to fit them into their view of the world (and vice-versa). It is interesting, but I am ashamed to say that I have to look at the map to see exactly where these places are.  Old age!
