-- 12:50a  Bed

--   9:07a  Up with headache

-- 10:00a  Leaving to bike, the pickup breakfast @McD;  They were extremely crowded and slow.

-- 10:58a  Inside after biking 2+2;   Breakfast @home: hotcakes and sausage

They gave me 2 sausage patties.  I don't know if someone else had ordered that and I got their order.

If no one else had ordered that, then that is probably the reason they took so long.  The clerk kept

looking at the plate and saying that it doesn't match my order.

-- 12:05p  Leaving to bike

-- 12:45p  Inside after biking 4 mi;  "Handmaid's Tale, The"

--   2:50p  Leaving for Naomi & Owen's Wedding

--   3:40p  Arrive at Ovation Chicago;  There was no trouble parking in their lot.

There seemed to be 3 appeitizers passed around by waiters, which is the typical way that it's

done, but I don't like that way because it's easy to miss what you might want.  

They had mini fried chicken sandwiches, which was the only thing without cheese.

--   4:35p  Wedding started;  Alison carried Ezra in.  He couldn't keep quiet so Leslie took him out.

Seth & Robyn officiated and Robyn pointed out that 5-yr-old Naommi was flower girl at their wedding.

The dinner was a taco buffet.  I stuck with the chicken (there was no ground beef).

Something was very spicy but I wasn't sure which item it was.

The dessert was passed around like the appetizers.   Brownies, spears of fruit, and ice cream sandwiches.  The latter should probably have been smaller.  I think I may have had dragon fruit for the first time.   It didn't seem to have much of a flavor.

As usual, it was very noisy.  Ben had earplugs.  He said it made it easier for him to

hear people speaking.  I guess I'll have to try that next time.

--   9:21p  Heading home;  Traffic was light.

--   9:54p  Home;  "Big Brother"

-- 10:40p  Starting to hear thunder
