Something Eloquent

Dinner was a hit I think. BBQ’ed Ribs and Pork Tenderloin Roast. I think the Roast got a bit dry and the ribs were not what you could plaus­ibly call “Fall off the Bone”. but the fla­vours were all good and the assort­ments of salads were excel­lent. There were also some last-minute pota­toes that went over quite well. Conversations were plen­ti­ful as was the beer, rye, vodka, and wine.

There was some small talk of find­ing a Hot Tub, but that didn’t quite pan out. An injury put a damper on the even­ing, it involved an errant spark from the fire pit and someone’s eyeball(not mine). Hopefully there isn’t too much dam­mage, but I think a visit to a doc­tor in the morn­ing would be a good idea.

My cousin brought her boy­friend down to meet the whole fam­ily for the first time. He seemed to take it well, and was well recieved in turn; which is good, because it would suck to travel across the entire coun­try and then get into a fist­fight with ima­gin­ary uncle Ralph.

The nor­mal huge crowd of people was not so much of an issue this time because the party was some­what split between inside and out­side. So there was two medium sized groups rather than one huge throng. I think I can handle the medium sized groups much bet­ter — I tend to get antsy in large groups, I’m not really fond of crowds. It’s not as bad when it’s fam­ily, but It’s never my favour­ite thing.

Now its ten to one in the A.M., I really should go to bed. We are appar­ently going to see the Wolf sanc­tu­ary in the morning.
