Dawn, and Dawn's Dave, dropped by, and hauled me out to lunch. We had fun. I got to giggle with her quite a bit. I'd been hoping for a little more just-girl-talk time, but this was all right. Dawn's Dave is nicer when he's calmed down and not horrendously keyed up over his wedding or his fiancée's graduation.

Dawn warns me that if I'm not careful, Darkside's parents might start contemplating weddings without our consent.

There was assorted geekage. I have hugs to pass on to Darkside. I also must remember to update the list of people that the four of us trust with Darkside -- I'd spaced my Big Bro and Dawn.
