<p>Greetings, all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Wippy</strong> - Yah for excellent first dates! That sounded like a fun time!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Beakerbabe</strong> - Woohoo for your friend being able to give a big F-U to cancer! Rawr!</p>

<p>I. Am. Exhausted. The reunion was actually pretty fun. More so than I expected. We had a couple of party crashers that made things interesting, if not annoying for a lot of the females. One of the crashers, known only as Drunk guy #2, was a bit touch-feely with the girls and didn't want to take no for an answer. I was rather assertive when he made one attempt on me, and even more so when he wasn't respecting a friend's "thanks but no thanks" response, as she looked very uncomfortable with his advances. Call me Den Momma, protecting her cubs, I guess!</p>

<p>The Gold rush festival was pretty much the same as in previous years, though more dog-friendly than I recall from years past. If you're interested, here's a slideshow of stuff I saw either at the festival, or around my run on Sunday morning.</p>

<p>Now if I can just make it through the day without falling asleep at my desk, that would be good!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a FAB day daaaahlings! </p>
