Tonight, after our winning softball game, we went to trivia night at Murphy’s Law in downtown Bryan. Not as good as we have been to at the pub, but it was still fun. We tried to answer tough questions, and got free shots out of it. Most likely the leftovers from almost empty bottles, mixed together with something fruity to make it go down easy. We also got to see the Lone Star Girls pass out some free beer and cozies to lucky people in the bar. It was a good Thursday, and we are looking forward to Friday and the weekend.

Yesterday Teresa and I went to the Division of Student Affairs Annual Summer Social after our work days were over. We weren’t really sure what to expect except what the flyer had on it. It sounded okay, and it would be a good chance for me to meet the rest of her cohort, and actually get out of the house.

So, after I finished up my work day I got in the car and drove to meet Teresa at her office. It’s a nice office with a bunch of room, and way too many chairs in it. After cooling off for a bit we headed on over to the Student Recreation Center where the hoedown was going on. It was a quick event, about 1.5 hours, that included dinner (BBQ for non veggies, potatoes for me), a sing-along (three songs that not many people sang along to), a lesson on how to do the Aggie Chicken dance (it’s just the normal chicken dance everybody knows), trivia (we didn’t know this was happeneing), a dessert competition (Teresa made cookies but we were too late to be in the competition, or they were scared that she would win), and a dollar sale (we kept our dollars in our pockets). Whooh! It was a fun evening, I was glad to get out of the house and meet some people, though it felt like an awkward first-meeting kind of place. We will all meet again I am sure.

Afterwards we went home and just lounged around, the whirlwind evening had us wiped out.
