Graduation

Sorry it has been so long since I last wrote, but our computer, or
should I say internet, wasn't working upstairs. For some reason it
just started working on its own today so here I am, back.

The weekend went very quickly for me. I am not sure if it had to do
with me being back at work or the fact that I was so busy. Saturday I
did some freelance work in the morning for my good pal Macho Max. I
had to go around the city and shoot some video for Cincinnati Bell
Volunteer Day. My morning started at 8:00 am and I finished up around
one in the afternoon. I needed to go to work that night, but didn't
feel like just staying out so I stopped by my parents for lunch. I
knew we didn't have anything at our house and my parents always have
something to eat there. I also got to see my dad and wish him Happy
Father's Day. I wasn't going to be able to see him on Father's Day so
I wished him one early.

I came home after lunch and took a short nap before heading off to
work. I wasn't looking forward to working the first Saturday night I
was back from vacation, but it saved me a vacation day. When I started
setting up for the shoot I thought things were actually going to go
smoothly, but oh how I was mistaken. When I went to start the truck it
would start and I noticed a light had been left on which drained the
battery. I tried to jump start it, but that didn't even work. So I had
to head back to the station to take the truck back and grab the van.
By the time I got back I only had a half hour to finish the set up and
graphics. Somehow it all got done, but was a bit more drama than I
wanted.

That night after work I met up with Teed, Mo, Taca, and Jenster on the
back porch of Jenster's house. There was also some dinner left over
for me to eat. We all hung out for awhile, and I got to hold Taca
again, I think she is getting used to Aunt Shando and asks for me by
name now. Ando and I then headed to Oakley Pub and Grill to meet up
with DKNY and BH. They came in from New York for the weekend to
celebrate Matthue's graduation. When we got there and walked up I
noticed Oakley Pub and Grill added some outside seating. It was a nice
night out so we all sat outside. There may have been another reason
that we sat outside; there was a disco ball in the bar area. It was
bizarre since there was no dance floor anywhere.

Sunday, I am now realizing this blog is getting long and I don't have
that many picture to give you either, sorry Teed, Ando and I went for
a short bike ride at Lunken. We are trying to take a bike ride once a
week and I made us keep our promise this week even though we didn't
have much time. After our quick little ride we needed to get ready for
Matthue's graduation party. When we got to the party Ando and I had to
turn around to pick up the party subs and some more ice to make sure
the two kegs stayed chilled. Once we settled in to the party it was
lots of fun. I had too much to drink and mixed too many alcohols, but
still didn't feel that bad the next day. I got to try my hand at a new
game, flip cup, and play an old standard, croquet. I think I am a
little too old for drinking games and am going to stick with the games
I already know. Amazingly it didn't rain either. It wanted to toward
the end of the night, but it just blew over instead; amazing if you
know how normal parties go for Ando's family.

I played a drinking game with college kids; I'm not going to have a
little one to put in college soon.
