Ah, the most lovely thing about the day was that I didn't have to go to work. :) But, in addition to that, The Gathering had a picnic at Heller Park. We had about 45 people there, so it was a great turnout! Some folks played croquet and ultimate frisbee... I watched those but joined in when we started up the softball game. I'm a bit rusty, but I need to get back on my game, because I'm on a team and our first game is a week from Friday! Mainly I just enjoyed visiting with everyone who came out for the event.
Good grief... there's a song in my head, only I can't figure out the name of it, and I can't even begin to know who sings/performs it. It's a "pop" song... from either the late 90's or early 00's. It has violins in it... they define the melody of the song. I know that's not a lot to go on, but it would really help me if you could tell me the name of the song... and artist. :)
Well, I don't have much else to write about. I made dinner w/ two friends on Friday night... steaks, potatoes, asparagus, Caesar salad and strawberry shortcake. Mmmmmmm. Then we watched the move version of "The Phantom of the Opera." It was pretty good. It made me want to go back and see the stage version. It also made me want to go back and find the made-for-television movie starring Teri Polo. It was somewhat different in the story line and the fact that it wasn't a musical. I remember it being pretty good, though... especially at the end. It was very touching.
Well, I have a bit to do before going to bed. I hope you've enjoyed YOUR Memorial Day as well.

Although I had a nice time on the camping trip, I am not particularly ready to "go back". I'm enjoying my bed, the AC, my shower, and (relatively, except for a few spiders and ants) bug/racoon/snake-free environment this week. However, we would love to have more visiting time with you! We will need to schedule our trip to Tulsa soon, and we also need to schedule Miss Natalie's baby shower! Let me know when you hear anything definite. Love you!
I can't help you out much with the song much either, but I can help you with the movie. I am pretty sure that I have a copy of "The Phantom of the Opera" with Teri Polo. The only problem is that all of our videos are packed, so I can not tell you for sure for a few more weeks!
Late, late update... the song was "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. (It didn't take me THIS long to figure it out, but I just ran across this blog again and had to work backwards to figure it out again.)
