Couldn’t come up with a way to round off that paraphrasing.
Last Monday we had FHE over at the University of Washington’s bowling alley. It’s certainly swankier thank the one in the Wilk.
On Wednesday I discovered that if I walk ten minutes down the road from my office, I’ll be at this boardwalk that juts out into Lake Washington, with beautiful views. Spotted someone wind surfing, catching ridiculous verticals, 30-40 feet I’d guesstimate.
While I was chilling I met a wonderful two-year-old golden retriever named Taz who was reveling in the freedom of being off his leash. Loved to cuddle.
Also passed some expensive-looking houses on the way.
On Thursday I played volleyball with the gang, then we all went out to our local “fancy Taco Bell”.
Friday was The Force Awakens. Tomorrow we finish up Star Wars with Rogue One. As it goes in the Enterprise opener, it’s been a long road getting from there to here.
This last weekend was General Conference, so we got together and made a meal out of it.
This week’s FHE was human battleship, tossing a beach ball over a tarp-covered volleyball net to try and hit opponent players lying prone in various configurations. There I introduced the missionaries to Laser Chess, and met someone with an interesting condition; every few months a seizure wipes all memories. That evening he’d only been himself for about five hours. Very interesting situation, to say the least.
Yesterday I had dinner with a friend at my office, then went to play games at another friends house. Got introduced to a really fun variation on Apples to Apples. Rather than having the judge just pick who wins, and that player scoring a point, instead the judge secretly picks a winner, and then each player, seeing the other options, bets on who the judge will select as the winner, using two “bet tokens”. One point for being chosen as the winner, one point for each bet token you placed on the actual winner, and the judge wins one point for each token that anyone placed on his/her choice.
Today I had to shorten my beard, which has been causing problems during meals.
Tomorrow I have plans to meet up with Callie and her cohort for lunch, who’re in town for the weekend. Can’t wait!
I’ll leave you with this pic of the inside of a diesel generator sitting behind our office. Someone forgot to lock the door.
