Tonight in Market Square Park:

I drank more glasses of wine than I played BINGO games. I didn’t win BINGO. I did win drinking.

Had a meaningful conversation with a family friend about gay marriage and the ordination of women ministers.

Chopped up an absurdly large and excessively wrapped sausage with a plastic knife.

Ran into friends I haven’t seen in a very long time.

Didn’t die of heat exhaustion.

Paid $10 for parking.

Laughed a lot.

Enjoyed every minute celebrating one of my best friends and soul sister for life, Maria.
