Craigslist roommates, a meat wagon and 3 day weekends
Well apparently spring lasted 11 minutes.
Yesterday I was outside sweating like I owed the sun money. This morning I considered turning the heat back on. PA weather continues its proud tradition of behaving like a Craigslist roommate.
Anyway, the 3 day weekend is upon us. And while it may not be ideal ‘sit beside a pool ignoring all emails except this one’ weather, there’s still some good stuff going on.
For example, I’m skipping the usual Friday night couch marathon. Because TreeTrails is doing one of those nighttime zipline setups with lights, music and aerial obstacles. Which honestly sounds like someone turned a panic attack into a team building exercise. But in a fun way.
Wine lovers unite, Bishop Estate Vineyard has acoustic music on Saturday. Oh and the Meat Wagon truck (still an absolutely unhinged name but the barbecue is scrumptious). Never thought I’d be typing meat wagon in a sentence. And to think my middle school English teacher didn’t think I’d ever be a real writer.
Completely unnecessary side note. I realized this week that I’ve officially reached the age where I make comments about the weather to strangers. Not even meaningful observations either. Just things like “bit breezy today huh?” to a guy buying mulch at Lowe’s. Like I’m running for local office smh. Please send help.
Anyway, if you want something quieter, the Thompson-Neely House hosts a really thoughtful ceremony Sunday honoring Continental Army soldiers buried nearby. It’s one of those local history things that deserves way more attention than it gets.
Then Monday morning, Doylestown does its parade for the 158th year in a row. Which means this tradition has survived world wars, disco and several economic collapses. Impressive longevity. It’s the Cher of MDW parades.
Hope you have a great time out there. Enjoy that high of 51 degrees 😫I’ll be honoring our fallen soldiers, licking BBQ off my fingers and finalizing a Sunday copy you’ll enjoy.
May you find a friend with a heated indoor pool,
