On second thought: I’m such a dork. I really want to try to get to the Maritime Festival down on the waterfront in Seattle today. It might end up being lame–no idea on that, as I’ve never been before–but the nautical wannabe in me wants to check it out anyway. I’ve always been fascinated with things like that ever since I was a kid growing up in Connecticut. Now to see if I can convince Andi to go… Then, tonight, we’ve got the Yankees at the Mariners. I finally get to see Alex Rodriguez. And I get to safely jeer the Yankees in person for the first time (only ever seen them at Yankee Stadium before, and I am not suicidal)! Of course, we’re in the upper deck, so they won’t hear me. But it’s the thought that counts, damn it.
Now, to see if I can avoid spending too much money on the GPS…
Tonight, our friend Doug is part of an art show downtown, for his print work. This will certainly lead to one too many drinks, especially given that there will be obligatory wine and chatting at the art show, and obligatory hanging out afterwards. It’ll be fun. If we have time (and aren’t three sheets to the wind) we may try to see 28 Weeks Later. Maybe.
Either Saturday or Sunday morning we’re going to run down to REI to check out their selection of GPS units for geocaching, and we likely need to do a full grocery store run (which is a pain). We usually let it go until all our supplies are run down, and then go and get 2-4 weeks of stuff at once. It’s fun, except for the half-dozen trips it requires up and down the stairs and forever unloading and storing stuff. Saturday night we also have the Mariners/Yankees game, and then Sunday is Mother’s Day, so off to West Seattle. I was tempted to check out that Martime Festival down on the waterfront as well, but aside from maybe getting to ride around Elliot Bay in a tugboat, it looks pretty bland.
There’s other stuff as well, which I know I’m completely forgetting now. I think we’ll have free time while we’re asleep.
I have a feeling that by next weekend or so, we’ll be beginning to dabble in something new. A sport that involves exercise, puzzle solving, hiking, math, science, and exploring both Seattle and the surrounding King County areas. Here’s a hint:
Three birds with one stone: we get our gaming fix in; we get to explore areas around us; we get exercise.
