Attendance: Robin and I
Drinks: Mint Julep (for the Kentucky Derby) for me, A Southside (another mint drink) for Robin
Well, last week Wendy and Mandy were involved with Opening Day boat stuff so they did not come out on Friday. Robin and I did venture to the 611 and spent an hour talking with Matt the bartender. We mostly got updates on his new married life (happy but trying to adjust to wife’s messiness and generally scattered nature) and a baby update. He is dreading the baby shower but is otherwise as ready as can be expected.
In other baby news:
We had Sean and Matt over for dinner last Saturday and they have a baby on the way too! Assuming all goes as expected they will be bringing the little one home from Oregon in October. (The deliver is in Oregon because of adoption laws that allow them to adopt as the sole parents before delivery.) They do not yet know the sex or if it is Sean or Matt’s the biological dad.
To go with the new kid they now have new home in Leshi near grandpa and grandma (Sean’s parents). It is a huge place, new construction with a lake view. They have lesbian neighbors – but, they joked, they like them anyway.
The menu included roast peppers, fried zucchini, eggplant rolotini, grilled halibut, seasoned mango, asparagus-fennel-arugula salad and a new Robin chocolate dessert.
(I am having a hard time proof reading as I listen to another Obama speach that I find inspiring.)
Answers: 1. Angelo is 18 2. yes, we are adorable 3. the class folks have yet to break into adolescent private part jokes, but when they do I am ready:
" Let all your crew pull strong, come what will.
There's hogsheads of sperm ahead, Mr. Stubb, and that's what ye came for. (Pull, my boys!) Sperm, sperm's the play! This at least is duty; duty and profit hand in hand!"

Are you joking about the sperm in hand???? Melville was gross! Good news on the baby front. I hope everything goes smoothly.
Did you watch the Kentucky Derby? Awful. We almost stayed in Kentucky to see it and now I'm so glad I didn't. That sport should be outlawed.
I'm firmly in Obama's camp now. I wish we could have elected a woman president and I'm worried about McCain demonizing Obama a la John Kerry. What a political season! Will she get out?
Ok, we're in South Dakota and send our love to you guys xoxo S & V
