But it only cost $65, and the car runs much much better now.
Then I ran over to Costco, and got my new tires installed. They weren't particularly busy, so the estimated hour only took an hour and 15 minutes.
Then to OfficeDepot for stuff for the slip boxes. I'm not sure if I'm going back there. My experience from the last few times through was that they likely have what I'm looking for. Just not in any place I'd think to look for it. This is especially bothersome when one is late for Dinner&.
But whatever. A quick trip to Trader Joe's for goodies, a not so quick trip through traffic to the Hamptons, and I was only an hour late.
A wonderful party, as always. Many cool people, much with the foodstuffs, and a fair amount of alcohol. I had intended to head home early. I did so around 3:30am, when I felt both sober and rested enough to do so.
There was much fun around the revealing of the couch conspiracy.

Not a hugely attended night, but quite nice. I finished off the 6th rotation at about 2:10am. We had one new group - Sandra, Ava, and Jack - that may be back. They seemed to have a good time, but didn't really connect with the crowd.
Eddie and Shawn showed up after a long absence, with Eddie finally feeling healthy enough to be around people, and quite sad that he hadn't been in condition to make it to any of the
I consumed a bit more alcohol that I should last night (I normally have two drinks. Last night was two drinks and two shots. And the drinks involved tequila), and typing the song numbers was a little tricky towards the middle of the evening. But at least I stopped well before closing. I need to watch that.
I carted a largely unconscious Timmie home, then headed off to Cindi's, where I checked some more on her computer (I've already made one mistake), and enjoyed some delicious French toast and bacon, as well as the company of both Cindi and
Then home, and sleep. Which I'm about to enjoy more of.
And tonight is dinner with
