reunion

12:17am Sunday 30 July 2000

Dinner was great - Walt, our waiter was amazingly cheerful and happy to serve the entire time. 28 or 30 people, including little kids and lots of alcohol and testosterone running around.

Funny thing was that we were near a balcony which overlooked a little dock thing of water two stories below us. The kids tossed french fries down to feed the fish. There was "a school of french fries" floating in the water. So when I brought some french fries to join the fun, I discovered that even though the fish had plenty floating just below us, the ducks were available on the dock next door, so I threw french fries to the next water lot and two stories down to the ducks.

Cindy was showing me the family tree, but didn't get very far.

Rodd and I stayed up for a bit talkin' about stocks and shit, looking up a few different symbols and just general talkin about investing.

(dream)

Dreamt that my family had a family reunion in the Methil house (there's Methil again twice in two dreams (this time the house was accurately placed on the street, although I never saw the house from the outside))

It was my dad's family - Becky, Barbie, Charlie, Cordie, and some other faces that don't actually exist (that I know of). One woman was not allowed to have chocolate, but she indulged herself, mostly to get attention it seems. She said she forgot.

Interesting thing to me: the house was owned by Becky (dad's sister) and she had installed an electric eye thing that would recognize when someone walked in the door. This device would turn on the ceiling fan in the living room to help make the environment more comfortable when people were in there.

After waking up, we packed and went home. I rode with Wende's parents and got lots of genealogical information. I felt closer to the family after that.
