A nicely full Wednesday

Let’s see. D made it safely to Vegas and presumably spent the day practicing for his big event this weekend. Meanwhile, J got a new water heater ($2200, but they came very promptly), and J’s mom got her stolen car and phone back, although she’s missing a few pieces of ID. J and I did a bunch of cleaning for next week’s guests, and we also went to play trivia at the Drop Bear with some of my coworkers. There were categories this time that J could help with, so he got more involved than before. Fun! We got everything correct in the mystery category (computer languages) and the turtle-themed category (in part because I knew Donatello was a sculptor). The very amusing thing in the computer languages category is that once I recognized what the category was and told my teammates, my colleague Keith started listing other computer languages, such that as they would ask a new question, I could point to the answer (e.g., “What’s the most populous island in Indonesia?”). Oh, also, we got a correct answer because our Belgian teammate knew that in France, they have what are called “blue steaks”! There were tasty snacks too.
