Thanks to Rand Bellavia for his help with the above strip.
You can see my Blathering entry about the event here.
Had lunch at Fune with Elizabeth, Bryan and Brianna yesterday. Wow, has Brianna ever changed since the Blathering I posted about her birth last year. She was a bit shy with Jeff and me at first, not having seen us in a long while, but warmed up to us (and the waitstaff) in no time. It's -so- great to finally coax that first smile out of a baby the first time, isn't it? And it's amazing to what lengths adults are willing to go to in order to get that smile. I remember feeling all awkward and nervous around little kids until Sara was born, and then all dignity went out the window as I screwed up my face into weird expressions, jumped up and down, gesticulated and made funny noises, all in hopes of getting those smiles and (the holy grail) perhaps even a giggle.  Wrote some more in the afternoon, then went to Parki's to plant some rosemary and thyme in his garden. I've been threatening to bring over a flower since he started renovating his backyard area last year, so I figured it was finally time to follow through. Instead of a flower, I opted for plants he could eat if he wanted to. :-) Sat and chatted on his spiffy-looking new deck for a while before leaving for dinner. Originally we were going to see Shrek 2 (my second time, his first), but we decided to see the new Harry Potter movie at the Paramount instead. The crowds weren't nearly as bad as I expected, and we got pretty good seats. Won't give away any spoilers, don't worry, but will only say that I liked it better than the second movie, and will be seeing it at least one more time. Have a great weekend, everyone!
