Festivals, computer death and fundraising
What a week. We had a great time on Sunday, after brunch we went down to the local Italian festival on 6th street and then back to White Star for awhile. Ernie wrote about it and posted a ton of photos here. We had a good time, and I of course was the only winner from our group in the basketball toss, so I gave my winning toy to a little dog we know, Morty.
When we got home I went to start working on a deadline for Monday morning and I got the Blue Screen of death on my work laptop. I took it to the office on Monday and they couldn't do anything with it, so they gave me another new one on Tuesday with very little of my archived information and none of my needed software. After I got somewhat caught up on work and got enough of my own archive and software loaded back up, we needed to go to a small fundraiser.
Our local City Councilman, Steven Fulop is trying to get a couple important referendums on the November ballot but needed to raise some funds for legal costs. Tony, Lou & I went down to Lucky 7's (another local watering hole) and paid our $25 and ended up staying about 20 minutes. It was very very crowded (which is great for fund raising) but also hot and too crowded to have fun, so we scooted back down to Simple for some drinks and to watch the Yankees lose ... again. Let's see what happens tonite - I have the feeling I won't feel guilty at all about changing the station from the Yankees at PM to Project Runway for their Drag Queen design show tonite.
