The Cromulent Shakespeare Company is performing Love's Labour's Lost at Whittier Park tonight at 7:00 p.m. For this, I think the girls and I will blow off karate. Anyone else? We'll maybe bring a picnic dinner.

Two nice little pieces about two different families caught my eye today:
Here's a story about Devin and Geoffrey, a gay couple raising three (high energy) little boys, who will be celebrating a double Father's day this Sunday.
David and Elizabeth Weinlick celebrate their tenth anniversary. Perhaps you remember this story, when they married at the Mall of America ten years ago: David had decided his senior year of college that he'd get married on a particular date: June 13, 1998. Trouble was, he didn't have a girlfriend. So he set up a website and made a commercial, asking women to apply to be his wife, and he had his friends pick out his bride for him. Elizabeth Runze was the one who ended up taking the plunge. They'd had a five minute conversation before they married, and their first kiss was at the altar.
Many (including David's family) didn't give them a snowball's chance in hell, but ten years later, David and Elizabeth have three children and consider their marriage entirely a success.

Sorry if we stood you up
Jun. 13th, 2008 09:41 pmI was packing our picnic dinner before heading out to Whittier Park, about a half hour before Love's Labour's Lost was due to start, only to glance out the window and realize it had begun raining. The girls and I weren't keen on sitting on wet grass, even if the rain stopped in time, so we bailed on going to the show, reasoning that we'll catch it later this summer. We ate our picnic dinner in our (dry) dining room instead. And then *sigh* I got started on the massive stack of dishes waiting in the kitchen.
Not the way I envisioned my Friday night turning out. Bummer.
