A weekend, ongoing

I know it's not formally the end of the extended weekend. And I've a cookout to attend and a game tonight still to come, but let me at least document some of. No, as the man said. Is too long, let me sum up (partly by referencing other helpful people).
( Friday, Gaiman talk at MIT )

Some time ago Tamar recommended L'Andana Grill to me as a place to try, based on the reputation of its owner/chef and their in-city restaurants. To celebrate Pygment's birthday we went on Saturday night with my uncle Paul and aunt Gray. The short form: good four-star food at four-star prices. Thank you to Dr Karen for babysitting. My hips did not like their furniture, which featured seats too low to the table and with squishy cushions. But the food and conversation were good enough to make up for it. Recommended for your next fancy meal in the burbs. All the rest is food geekery.
( Saturday, dinner )

( And a movie )

( Sunday with Chinese )

This AM we debated things like biking and other outdoorsy stuff. We settled for yardwork, primarily dealing with the logs that are destined for the fireplace this fall or later. We'd meant to get out more, really, but at least the kitchen no longer disgusts Pygment and now we are going to go BBQ with our friends.

Hope your long weekend was good, too!
