It was amazing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"waves\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4143\/4741761673_4481a62cd9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Once the rain let up and the lake subsided, we went to try the cocktails at the Forum. Let&#8217;s just say we&#8217;ll be returning: that place was great.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Saturday, I felt pretty good in the morning (provided I took Sudafed every 4 hours), so we went to have brunch at The Depot (First Ave&#8217;s new restaurant). They were outside <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/queen_of_subtle\/4742407840\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\">painting stars back on the building<\/a>. I really, really wanted this, but did not steal it:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"star\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4137\/4741771585_8802f49251.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We decided to try Brits for the USA-Ghana game, knowing it would probably be insane. I considered laying down and dying on the way there (I keep feeling like I can&#8217;t get enough oxygen), but we made it, only to be turned away at the door because they were full. We would&#8217;ve gone to Kieran&#8217;s, but there was no way I&#8217;d be able to stand for the entire game in that condition. Instead, we went to Rock Bottom. It was an excellent choice: we got seats with a good view of three TVs, a good server, and a decent crowd to watch with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I&#8217;d have preferred that we won, of course, but it was a good run.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We planned to go out later, and I woke up from a nap at 8pm feeling pretty good. That lasted for an hour, and then I was laying on the floor groaning. What the hell, cold? You suck.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We missed Pride, too. I&#8217;m glad the weather was really good for it, considering the storms the rest of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"pride\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4074\/4742410114_d9ffed1743.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We got a lot done around the house on Sunday. I&#8217;d be fine for an hour, then have to sit down for a while; that worked out well as far as accomplishment and knitting. I blocked my shrug for the final time, and got a bunch done on the cardigan I&#8217;m working on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"shrug\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4080\/4741773903_d5aecb8f3f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I baked two loaves of rhubarb bread (one to bring to la familia), then made vegetable curry, which included a turnip from the garden. We also made dhalpouri on the grill. SO GOOD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"dhalpouri\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4119\/4742414022_b3e86d8ce3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tonight, <em>finally<\/em>, we&#8217;re going to visit my brother and his family, who are in town for a month from Orlando. I was worried I&#8217;d still be sick today, but the cold is subsiding quickly.
