What Would You Do With An Allergic Sailor?

Friday night! Pirate Fest Day 1!
Attorney and her husband came, they were delighted. We saw people on stilts dressed as Jellyfish. Giant Seahorse lanterns. Mermaids, Giant Squid mascot. So many pirates. Tinkerbell, Smee, Captain Crunch, The Dread Pirate Roberts, Jack Sparrow, Vikings, Goths.
and me
Stede Bonnet in the pink bird robe.
Many people knew who I was this year, and asked for photos.
We sang 500 miles and whiskey in the jar and what would you do with a drunken sailor and drunken lullabies.

When the Celtic punk rock band The McDeviants started a young man asked me to dance. After 3 minutes of spinning I felt I was unable to catch my breath and nauseous. I stepped aside and thought, "Wow, graduate school made me REALLY out of shape." I asked John to take me home where I saw myself in the mirror, I was red all over. Not out of shape, just having an allergic reaction to the french fries.
I joked later to Jake that I took, "So many drugs last night, Zofran, benedryl, pepto, gabapentin. I'm sure that's how Maggie wanted us to honor her."

Super upset I missed the McDeviants. Glad to be alive.

Pirate Fest Day 2!
I found Jake and we walked around looking at all the fun booths and pirates. We got pizza rather than the food trucks. Such good times.

Today:
Roz wanted to go to Tokio ramen and sushi for her birthday. There was a football and a baseball going on so we walked right in, ate, and were out in an hour?
She loved the bonsai I've been working on for her for the past 3 months.
