What the weekend looks like

bunrabThere's a Mensa gathering in the area; this evening (Friday) the big event of the day was the Chocolate Orgy, so what we had for supper was:
Chocolate rum balls
Chocolate rum fudge
Chocolate mousse cake
brownie
Chocolate turtle cake
chocolate cherry cake
chocolate chip cookies
chocolate toffee trifle
We skipped the chocolate-chocolate moon pies.
Tomorrow at said gathering I am giving a learn-to-knit workshop.
Sunday involves mainly brunch.
Monday morning, we play with the Bel Air Community Band at the Memorial Day ceremonies in Bel Air: patriotic music, and then the hymn "Going Home" (the one that's to the tune from the Largo from Dvorak's mth symphony) over and over and over again while the VFW puts a wreath on the war memorial, and the American Legion puts a wreath on the war memorial, and the Boy scouts put a wreath on the war memorial, and the Elks put a wreath on the war memorial, and the Ladies Auxiliary puts a wreath on the war memorial, and... you get the idea. Last year we did 19 repeats of the hymn to last through all the wreaths.
The electronic highway signs warn "no bottle/propane gas in tunnel; use alternate route." Since that prohibition undoubtedly applies year-round, Spouse wondered why they bothered to particularly post it on the signs this evening; I had to remind him that probably a LOT more people are going to be using their gas grills this weekend than have in the previous 6 months or so, so they have to remind all those people carrying propane home from the supermarket for the first time this year...
