Weekend Wrap-up

Friday: Stayed in playing Hearthstone with Mike while Rebecca went to a going away party in Arlington for a friend moving to Ballard who'll be working at the EMP Museum.

Saturday: Put into practice the concepts of a FIFO queue by arriving at Costco at 8:55 for their annual unpublished holiday season early-open, and left with all of my purchases by 9:10 (doors usually open at 9:30). Started on a little composing / trumpet project which I'll post later this week. In the evening, we relaxed at Old Ox Brewery where we had a flight paired with some cheesy polenta with mushrooms, freshly prepared at a "food truck" that was actually a permanent tent within the warehouse. Hit the East Juniper Avenue Christmas lights afterwards, but we were not impressed this year.

Sunday: Worked on my musical project for most of the day and also watched the movie, In a World.... Had dinner at Thai by Thai and then drove up Algonquin to find the mythical Christmas lights that Rebecca had heard about. Found said lights, which have probably caused many accidents and brown outs along that stretch of the road.

Up Next: I'm on vacation for the next two weeks, so I'll just be lazing around reading Janny Wurts books and working on my musical project. Next week, I plan on starting the materials for an Amazon Web Services certification, since it has now been 3 years since I was HADOOP-en. Fear not, if you are stuck at work, because I will update the URI! Zone every day except for this Friday!
