mojosmomWhen I was in kindergarten? first grade? we played bean bag. This has now apparently become a hugely popular bar game. So far, fine. But for some reason that I cannot fathom, it is now also known as "cornholing". As far as I'm concerned, "cornholing" has an entirely different meaning, one not usually discussed on the noon news or in the community newspaper. Yet, today, I see this headline: "Cornhole in your own backyard . . . It's an all-American pastime.". Okay, but I hope you have a very high (and solid) fence!!!
We took the summer interns out after work today. The place we went has an outdoor patio, so we hung out there, eating unhealthy appetizers and drinking beer and wine. Nice.
I got an email today from Goodman Theatre, offering free tickets to one of the plays in their Latino Theater Festival. So I got right on the phone. Who cares if the show is "in Spanish with some English translations"? It sounds interesting: "Las Mil y Una Noches, performed by Spain's Comediants , is a 'sensual and provocative exploration set in a demolished library in Baghdad."
My book did not get accepted for the "One Book, Many Interpretations" show. I'm disappointed, but not hugely surprised, considering the competition! But I still get invited to hang with the movers and shakers at the opening reception! So that will be fun.
My dentist's office has, once again, called to change my appointment, since my dentist has been pushing back her return from maternity leave (can't say that I blame her!). But this latest change has meant that both appointments needed to be changed. My first appointment will be on a day I was thinking of taking off anyway, and I was able to schedule the second on Columbus Day, which is a holiday for us, so I won't need to take a sick day for that. In other words, it's worked out okay for me. I just hope this is it for the changes!
