I hope the kiddies are enjoying themselves

On the walk home from schwork* today I realized that it was perfect disc golf weather.  It was nice out, sunny, not too hot but not cool and the winds were light.  I suffered through the walk home in my non-walking shoes.  Despite the developing hotspots I even stopped and smelled a few flowers, peonies mostly.

So once I got home and stripped off all those "bad" clothes, relaxed for a few minutes and then got properly dressed for early summer weather and headed to the park to toss some discs and relax. 

Damn Flickr is causing me issues getting today’s schwork photos (to and fro) uploaded into sets.  ||  Oh well.  That was a pain.  And a few photos are missing or out of order.

And yes, the red peonies at the end of "to" and those at the beginning of "from" are the same large grouping.

So back to the disc golf….  Off I head sometime after 6 PM only to arrive with cars hanging off the lawn of the school yard and "traffic" clogging the driveway.  "WTF?," he thinks.  Turns out the elementary school is having its end of year fair or something.  There’s big blow up jump/slide/(consume sugary things) sort of things behind the school.  Damn!  I sure those kiddies (and their parents) are enjoying themselves.

See, the frisbee golf course sits behind an elementary school.  It’s in a park.  The park just sits behind the school and uses the school parking lot as its lot.  <le sigh>

I came home, made a sandwich, ate it and some chips and read an article by Soegel on SemWeb.  Since then I’ve been fighting with Flickr and this post.  Seeing as it’s about 8 and I have more homework I should do I think this is it again.

*schwork noun (locational and/or situational and/or lifestyle- and/or career-oriented).  1 Contraction of school and work as I finally got tired of saying "school and work," or wasting energy in figuring out which one to use when, and getting confused when both are applicable (as they often are).  I started using it in my Flickr sets on 16 May.  I think this is the first time here and I don’t believe I’ve used it in "polite" conversation yet.
