Tuesday night was wet, Wednesday morning got drilled

We went over to Lou C's for dinner and were joined by Frans and Lou's roomie, Wade. I'd never met Wade and her turned out to be a charming, slightly loopy linguist, just my kind of foil. He studies variations in pronunciation for a local speech recognition-based company. After the fine if somewhat delayed (due to coals that went out!) dinner (steak, chops, lots of wine) we squished into Lou's smaller hot tub for more conversation.

Mike had had too much to drink to drive, so I drove us home in the pickup, which I'm not used to.
