Soon, guests shall be arriving, and then the rest of the meal:

Pork Top Loin Roast
Greek Potatoes (with lemon and oregano)
Asparagus

I had some startling revelation, but I lost it. Damn.

Ants, ants Everywhere...

The guests are a smidge late...at least one of them who was supposed to arrive early. I'm milling about the house, opening some windows, enjoying the windy day. Then I notice ants crawling along my window latch. There's just a small scouting team. Not a full on assembly line.

!!!

I'm nearing my third year in this house, and ants are finally trying to invade. But I couldn't see where they entered. So I sprayed the inside and outside area of the window. I don't know if they are in the walls, or not.

Hmph. I'm going out of town for a week, and I hope they don't decide to launch a full on invasion during that time. I'll be hiding all the tasty treats from their little mandibles.

Undercover Brotha

Well, tonight was a good night.

My mother and Binky came over for dinner. Yes, I was finally introducing him to my parent (singular since I don't ever see my father).

Dinner was regarded well by both individuals. Score!

Binky brought wine and ice cream. We got to the wine; we didn't get to the ice cream. Score for me later!

Binky also brought a pirated copy of "Undercover Brother". Good fun, actually. Plenty of Blaxploitation references in there.

So, the parental introduction went well. We had lively conversation, never an awkward moment. I was most pleased.

Then mom left for the long drive home, and Binky and I ended up talking about a myriad of other things. We could still manage to do that if I didn't have to pack and get up at 3am to hit the airport to San Antonio.

I'm not sure if I'll even go to bed. I think I might, though. I am getting sleepy.
