I should also recap other weekend events so as not to slight any participants. Friday night we watched Jeff Daniels' "Escanaba in da Moonlight," which I can only hope faired better as a stage production. Then we opened the season at Casa Dominick's with sangria, pizza bread, and friends old and new. Dom's closes early, so we headed downtown to Monkey Bar for a round of pool (which I opted out of) before calling it a night. Saturday was a day out for wedding bands, a trip to the grocery, dinner, the game, and a late night screening of "Father of the Bride." That brings us to today: stew in the crock pot, some wedding stuff, some sports on TV, cleaning, and a friend for dinner.
