Taking my son down to Midway so he can fly back to CA, then spending a couple weeks bachelor because my wife had to fly out of town on a family emergency.

Baking a couple of apple pies for tomorrow's big meal with the in-laws. Also, making some bread dough and will be making a mashup of au gratin and Hasselback potatoes (cut the potates like for a gratin but stacking them on their edges to be like a hasselback). My BIL is gonna be grilling some lamb chops.Then passing into a food coma shortly after the meal.

The boys are off playing this afternoon (E D&D with his school group, H with a friend a few blocks over), then we're playing in Henry's dungeon tonight.

Tomorrow we've got the family over for Easter lunch and games.

I suppose I should unload the minivan from GaryCon, since it's a nice day this afternoon. When I'm done that, I'll post the TTS#3 ordering details (got that all weighed out at the USPS yesterday and this morning).

I'm sorry to hear about the family emergency.

This weekend we spent time as a family (always nice), and this afternoon I cleaned a bunch of boxes out of the garage (since Amazon became a thing, we seem to collect those cardboard boxes like crazy) and washed and lubed my bicycle (had some mud on it from yesterday's ride). It's been a lovely day, today. Probably will sit on the porch and enjoy some whisky and maybe a cigar.

Just got back from a bike ride with a guy from my neighborhood (first time I met him). We rode around the streets and creek/gully trails for about 40 mins. Thought I was doing well. Then he said "hey, let's sprint for a minute or two." Shit. I hung in there for about a min, and that was all I could handle. :lol:

Still, I didn't feel too bad, he's in the army and is 12 years younger than me (plus, when I first got back on this bike a month or two ago I could barely ride 15 mins without getting out of breath. Progress is progress.)

Anyway, this weekend we're going to go ride WG Jones State Park. I'm looking forward to it:

Also plan on grilling kalbi (Korean-style beef ribs) this weekend (just the family). Need to get a growler or two to go with that.

The wife has to work this weekend, so I'm hoping to put in many hours on one of three OSRIC or Blueholme modules I currently have in some stage of incompletion. Or drink beer and smoke some BBQ. I'm not sure which will win out in the end. :lol:

Spring cleaning: purging crap, rearranging furniture, and (if the weather cooperates) rebuilding my front entryway.

Also, job hunting.
