Dunking Booths, Brick Festivals, and RPG's. How'd You Spend YOUR Easter?
So the Whimsy got dunked Friday evening. The Elfin Princess and I ventured over to Six Flags over Jesus for the event. Yeah, Prestonwood Baptist, where God goes to church. Turns out that Whims was only one of 91 to go under that night. You read that right. Ninety. One. They were baptizing 3 at a time, and it still took almost half an hour. Still, mission accomplished. All's well.
Went to my first polo match on Saturday. Elfin, her kid sister, Suzie-Q, and the Lord of War and I trekked our way down south to Red Oak to the Dallas Polo Club. But not before taking a little detour past the Lancaster Airport.
Note to City of Red Oak: Put street signs on your streets!
It was a hard to choose between Polo or the Brick Festival, but in the end, horsies won out. But, it was a close decision. And I'm not entirely sure it was the right one.
Maybe it was the heat. Maybe it was our complete lack of understanding of the rules. Or the fact that the scorekeepers seemed to making it up as they went along. But I think I understand why I've never been to a Polo match before. And will probably never go to another one. There's just something about traveling over an hour to a backwoods town that makes Mayberry look like Metropolis, to see a sport that's been obsolete for over a century, that just didn't appeal to me. I still think they could have stretched the game out a little longer, maybe thrown in some time-outs or, you know, a half-time, or something. It was over far too quickly to compensate for the drive out there.
Though we did get to relax for a bit, and that was nice.
After a shower and a Chick-Fil-A drive thru, TEP and LoW and I settled down for a night of gaming at Border's. We still had Varnell's Shadows of Camelot, so more than a couple of hours were lost to it's enchanting ways. Got to play the traitor this time, and had fun with it. And while the game moves more quickly with only 3 players, it's much more enjoyable with a full crew.
Hope your Easter was nice. Not too hot. Not too cool. We're getting a couple of 100 degree days here, only to catch our death of hypothermia when we're back down to 70 on Wednesday and the rest of the week.
Stupid Texas...

Hey Kid, I enjoyed your musings of an Easter week-end. I miss long ago egg hunts, with no eggs found, malted milk balls stuck in blonde strands of little boy long hair, Easter baskets with uneaten real eggs, and chocolate bunnies with one ear gone found mid July smushed under your bed....
I missed you!!!!
love,
blondie
