Sleepy Saturday
Apr. 18th, 2026 11:52 pmI was still too sleepy today to do much, and my attempt to nap didn’t work, so I didn’t go to the concert I’d heard about a week ago. They were going to play my favorite Beethoven symphony (#7) and that beautiful “Hebrides Overture” by Mendelssohn. And they even had plenty of tickets available this afternoon. Oh well.
Later I went for a walk to the track by the middle school. It was dusk, and a bare sliver of the moon and Venus were setting together so prettily.
Meanwhile, J went to the prerelease for the new Magic set with DG and D. J was also sleepy, so DG was driving. They did the afternoon event, then got lunch together downtown, then started the evening event. But for the first match, J and DG were paired up. After two games, they agreed to a draw and went for a walk, because the weather was so nice. As they headed out the door, they told the staff, “We’re drawing.” The staff heard “we’re dropping” and told poor D that J and DG had left without him. The walk wasn’t very long, and when they returned the store staff realized their mistake and told them. But they couldn’t find D and were worried he had given up on the event too and was walking home. Eventually they found him and all was fine; they played the three other rounds and finally got home around 11:30 pm.
