My Life is a Weekend

So the weather may have been pristine, but Lucky Bar provided an old familiar look and feel for this Wednesday's Gang Out: an indoor, beer-scented environment with more access to liquor than windows or water. And while the 'Outers may have spoken about art, the Banda Sea sea, and the benefits of more formal dresswear in the classroom, one thing couldn't escape this group: the weekend.

Who really has time for much in a M-F kind of world? We're considered not to "have a life" if we don't do stuff outside of work, and yet we work and are often bums during the week because of it. I think all signs point north here folks, our life is a weekend. Let me explain.

So even if Friday's party was one heck of a success, surely the team would've gotten over the weekend and on to talking about bigger, better, and more important things had it not been for Saturday morning's pole-dancing, followed by saturday afternoon's oxygen high, or the mid-afternoon #18-winning contest. But still, the weekend permeated all, even after reminiscing about the deliciousness of the triple-meatwich, and a winning ticket here and there after there were finally zero MTP for the Preakness, and yes, even after Round 5 of the day that included a stopover in downtown Baltimore followed by the craziest and most dangerous ride you've ever known.

And if not then, then surely conversation would have shifted after having recounted a weekend-long need for BBQ/foot massage, a bout with some home-grown karaoke, a derby-style game of boat races, and yes, you heard right, the baby-faced neighbors were severely shamed.

And so with little sleep and a whole lot to say, Team Gang Out moved on from one crazy weekend, skipping the mundane, and launching right into the next: next weekend! Jazz is back, Month of Bess is coming to a raucus close, Pierre is turning 30, Artomatic is in high gear, and Monday's a holiday, making it an extra-long weekend. And so without really even thinking about it, and in only a blink of an eye... we're at it all over again.

See you Wednesday...
