Evening

It was wonderful to get to see relatives I haven’t seen in a while at the brunch, and to meet more of the Taubers (Joel [the fianc]‘s family), whom I enjoyed greatly.

I had forgotten how much I enjoy small children. I have been having a great time with all of my little cousins. Eli and I did some building with these nifty sets of magnetic balls and rods which can be stuck together in all sorts of ways. I attempted to build a hypercube, but was thwarted by time, material availability, and the physical limits of the pieces. So it goes.

The dinner was a great success. I met and talked to many interesting people. And the food was FABULOUS. The lamb was not to be believed. Also, the restaurant had very interesting architecture.

Tomorrow morning we’ll be hanging out here at the house, and in the afternoon we go to the wedding, which is in an unknown location. We all get on a bus; no one but the bride, groom, and a couple of their closest friends know where we are going. It looks to be a lot of fun.
