beansideTodays subject line is from Umbra, the song that says "What if cowbell?" Also, what if keyboard solo AND guitar solo?
Good morning everyone! It's Sunday and good lord, I am still tired from Saturday. It was an awesome day, and I'm so grateful we were able to do it, but by the end I was beat. I had invited a bunch of our D&D server, specifically the ones who are in the Strahd game out for brunch. We have people that live in Pennsyvania all the way down to Virginia. So what I did was rent a van and offer to meet people at the BWI Marc/Amtrak station and then go to the restaurant.
We left early via uber to pick up the van, which I'd rented on Turo. The pictures did not convey how Lorge this van was. It was tall and required a big step up. We immediately stopped at the dollar store and grabbed a stepstool to make life easier.
Then, it was off to BWI. I got used to driving it pretty quickly, it was very smooth, though I did not enjoy taking it through the tunnel. We picked up the early contingent and went to get coffee, which was necessary. After that, a quick bathroom break, and the later contingent arrived, and we were off to the restaurant. Traffic was really shitty, and we ended up taking a alternate route that got us there about 25 minutes early. We stopped at the Korean tea shop, and relaxed until the driving contingent arrived, and then went in.
We'd decided on Rodizio Grill, which was again excellent. The gauchos circulated with delicious cuts of meat, and we all had foofy drinks. (They're super good for non alcholic drinks, which I wholly appreciate.) Much fun was had, and many good conversations. We ended up being 9 people strong, so I'm sure we kept them hopping. (I tipped very well.) It was so nice to put people with voices, and to spend some time face to face with them. All in all A++, will definitely do again.
Next time, I'll get a standard mini van that's easier to get into, but aside from that, I wouldn't change a thing.
By the time we dropped the car off and came home, I was exhausted and my back was super sore. I went to bed very early and slept hard.
Today, I'm still a bit sore, and looking forward to our massage this morning to ease that up. I basically just want a gentle backrub out of it. Hot stones, lavendar oil, yes, please.
Then, I will do a little bit of vegging, then cook dinner. I need to order some bbq sauce for my short ribs and look up how to properly cook them.
Then, maybe nap again.
I hope everyone has the most awesome Sunday!
