Wedding Practice & Hogs

Today was chock full of things to do. I was supposed to practice with Alex for the wedding on Saturday, but I forgot my music. So we re-scheduled and Frank took me over to her place today. It worked out real well because Frank got to meet her husband Keith, and they hit it off right away. As Alex and I were practicing I could hear them talking about all sorts of things – movies, work, and none too quietly either. Since Keith works in what Frank wants to make his career, they got along just great. I was thrilled that they got to meet. It’s amazing how men can meet and less than an hour later be great friends. So it ended up working out after all. Frank makes friends very easily, so that’s a plus. He makes up for my shyness with his friendliness.

From Keith and Alex’s we went over to Robert’s, and we went to Circuit City and bought some movies that were on sale. We went to Chick-Fil-A again, and we had a great time talking and just chatting. Frank was telling us how Wildlife Officers are supposed to kill hogs that are on the land they are patrolling. They used to donate hogs to shelters that fed the homeless, but they no longer take them unless the officers skin them for them. And the officers are not allowed to take them home because of conflict of interest. So Frank proposed that Robert and I be head of our own charity, and then we would take care of the hogs ourselves. Robert was really disgusted and said he would pass. But even though Frank was only joking, it was still funny. We kept joking about it for the rest of the day.

We then hung out with Robert for a few hours afterwards, and now we’re going to crash at home. We have to get up early tomorrow to get to my practice at the college.
