Schedule for September

[elfs]

What follows is a tentative list of what I'm doing and where I'm going to be in September.

• September 9th (a Tuesday): Doctor's appointment @ 3:30 for the wrist.
• September 13th (a Saturday): Taking the kids to the Puyallup fair. This is one of three possible options: the other two are the Kelso Highlander Festival, where Heather Alexander and her new rock band, Uffington Horse, will be performing, and the Gypsy Arms is hosting an men's only play party. We have Yamaarashi-chan this weekend.
• Septmber 16th (a Tuesday): Election day.
• September 19th-21st (Friday through Sunday) Foolscap is on. I'm only sorta looking forward to it. Yeah, a lot of my more obscure friends will be there, but I can't help but wonder how much more I could get done if I had the weekend at home, alone. Of course, Omaha will always tell you that I quail at the thought of socializing, so reluctance here should be no surprise. No Yamaarashi-chan this weekend.
• September 23rd (a Tuesday): Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson's new novel, comes out.
• September 24th (a Wednesday): The HTML Writer's group is hosting their monthly meeting. I will be giving an introductory lecture on Cascading Style Sheets.
• September 26th (a Friday): Conifur opens. I'll probably only spend one day there, probably Friday, as I have plans for the rest of the weekend.
• September 27th (a Saturday): Digging up the retaining wall along the southern edge of our property, moving stones, etc. No Yamaarashi-chan this weekend, although I may ask her mother if she can come over that Saturday; when she and Kouryou-chan are together, they tend to stay out of the grown-up's hair.
• September 30th (a Tuesday): Half-Life 2 is scheduled to be released.
• October 1st (a Wednesday): The next Dean meetup happens. This one will be Omaha's turn, and I'll be watching the kidlet.

Updates as events warrant. Every Wednesday (except the 17th-- that'll probably be moved to Tuesday), I have Yamaarashi-chan from 5:30pm to 8:30pm over for dinner. Every Monday, Omaha has her radio show so I'll be with Kouryou-chan by myself, for most of the evening. Thursdays look like the only days free for Omaha and I, so that's our parent night (i.e. Do Not Disturb). It looks like Friday the 12th is the only evening I have in the next month where I'm not actually doing something.

Grief.
