My Bourbon Sipping Friends Are in Town from State College and For a Night Anyways, Everything Feels Back to Normal

Kris, Dave, and Ish had a party to attend, but also were in need of a space to crash. Mt. Pleasant is the perfect location, and we have our routine, which includes dealing with the overly excited Karallyne Karma Cupcake, who can never get enough of her ol' neighbors when they return to Stratford. 

I worked on NCTE presentations awaiting their arrival, and also made a pretty decent stir fry with mushrooms, peppers, chicken, and broccoli. They were being fed at the party, but I wanted to be prepared nonetheless. 

I also got all my ESPN channels back up and running, so I was able to see the Fairfield/Iona game, and see the Women's Volleyball clench the MAAC regular season. I also caught the Women's basketball game against UNC and although Fairfield lost, they looked very good playing against a powerhouse team. Wonderful to see Nellie Brown back on the court.

Today, we'll do breakfast and Val is coming to meet us for lunch, but then they need to drive all the way back to Penn State, making their rendezvous a short-lived one. Always love having company and the house loves having the crazy crowd, as well. No one is more excited than Karal, however, when overnight guests are stopping by.

Here's to this Sunday. I'm simply excited to have sport channels again in my house. This streaming generation is something to get used to, and getting the right fit takes a little bit of time.
