fuzzygrufCaught Caltrain to Steve's after work on Friday. We drove to San Jose after dinner to see Aida. Running late so had to rush there again. Running late makes things too stressful. It's so easy to avoid. I don't need the stress.
Aida was pretty good. The lead was not bad at all, but after seeing Heather Headley do it on Broadway, I can't imagine anyone doing a better job. The theatre was large and made the stage look small. Quite a different feel from the two other times I've seen the show. I'll have to remember to splurge for closer seats next time I see it. With the music and lighting, it's still one of my favorite shows. Parts of it give me goosebumps.
I spent most of Saturday packing Steve's stuff. I ran out of boxes at one point, so Steve drove me back down to U-Haul to get more. We stopped by Home Depot and got a couple shelves for the laundry "closet" in our flat. I was able to pack over 30 boxes this weekend and clean out Steve's storage area behind his fireplace. He still has a lot to do before the movers come. Hopefully he'll get those scheduled and be mostly moved within two weeks.
Saturday night we took a break from packing and went to ECR's square dance. Eric Henerlau was the caller. Eric called pretty fast, so I just stuck to the "girl" role. Had a good time. The dance was supposed to end at 10:30pm, but they ended early. Most people had left by 10pm.
Junior sang in churh this morning as cantor as well as for the special music. He sang well, but he wore that silly garanimals outfit again. What is she thinking? The service was moving today. Mostly because two members died this week. One was Jack, whom I didn't know. His partner and his partner's family were at the service. Another person who died was H'amy from the evening service. She had been missing for a few days, so some friends went to look for her out near the beach where she hangs out sometimes. I guess they found her body and it looked like some horrible accident or something. No details. H'amy volunteered a lot with me during the early days of Resurrection Bingo (now Ba-Da-Bingo). H'amy also had a CD of her music. She also helped put together a chick-track parody called "The Sodomite." I have a copy of that on my desk at work. Read it here. She was in her early 30's. Rest in peace.
