Fun fun fun! Gothic Lolita Society? Sounds like fun! What do you do? Oh, and I forgot to mention that tonight Iā€™ll be representing the Goddess in a Litha (Summer Soltice) ritual. I hope the gods donā€™t take this as a **literal** request for fertility. šŸ˜ƒ ---

**Mouse Maven** ā€“ thatā€™s coming to the Boston Museum of Science in the near future ā€“ weā€™ve gotten a mailing about it. What are we doing? 1.) Saturday ā€“ I get to do a reading of my book at a local bookstore(!!!). Unfortunately, Pepper Mill and MilliCal wonā€™t be there because at the same time 2.) our friends are having their giant twice-a-year party, filled with all and sundry. Extremely sundry. Not to be missed. Iā€™ll go there after the reading. 3.) On Sunday (Fatherā€™s Day), MilliCal wants to visit her cousins 4.) Sometime during this we have to do some shopping for bathroom fixtures 5.) and finish cutting the grass. 6.) and if thereā€™s any time left over, maybe weā€™ll see a movie. ---

Every year I organize a Halloween High tea for my friends - email me if you would be interested in joining. Looks like a lot of fun. Iā€™m infamous for my reluctance to dress up. Thereā€™s a qoute board here at work. One from me is ā€œI feel like a cross dresser whenever I dress up.ā€ (I was bemoaning a formal fund raiser that my boss wanted us lab rats to attend.) ---

I went to the bodyworlds exhibit at the Franklin Institue in Philly. Pretty cool. This weekend. . .low key. The wifeā€™s away so tonight Iā€™m watching ā€œThree Burials of Something Somethingā€. Tomorrow, Iā€™m watching some World Cup with a gang of foreigners, and working in a long bike ride. Might be having a couple buddies over to swill some brews and watch the Winky Wright v. Jermain Taylor fight (which should be great). And, I need to finish ā€œInterview with a Vampireā€. I donā€™t even know why I started it, but Iā€™ve lost interest. ---

Saturday, 6:40 tee time. In the afternoon we were planning on hitting the Highland Games in Oak Brook, but we may pass if it gets as hot as they are predicating. Sunday I drive 2 of my kids to band camp at U of I. Other than that, will try to watch some of the US Open. ---

Three Little League games tomorrow starting at 0900. Iā€™m cutting out early to catch the US-Italy game at noon. I just got a new bike and am hoping to get my first ride in on Saturday as well. On Sunday weā€™re hiking [here](http://www.where-rv-now.com/Log/2003/Sequoia/TokopahFallsWide.jpg). It is one of my favorite hikes and easy enough to do with the kids. ---

Working on the (ongoing) remodeling of my bathrooms & bedrooms. I expect to finish sanding & painting the woodwork in the hall bathroom this weekend, and get the ceiling repainted in the shower stall. If Iā€™m lucky, or get help from my spouse, I might be able to get started on getting the bedroom cleared out & prepped for painting. I expect to put in at least 25 hours of work this weekend. Monday at the office will be a respite. ---

Tonight, thereā€™s a free barbeque and concert on campus, and tomorrow, thereā€™s a hike with other grad students and visiting undergrads to either Saddle Peak, or Lewis and Clark Caverns, depending on weather. Sunday, not much, maybe some gardening. ---

Tonight a friend is driving up our way and weā€™ll be hitting one of the local brewpubs. Possibly 2 of them. And who knows what after that. No plans for tomorrow, but I have a sneaking feeling they might include a greasy breakfast somewhere in town. Oh, and I know I need to take 5 minutes out of the day somewhere and mend a pair of my husbandā€™s pants he asked me to mend like 2 weeks ago. My Fatherā€™s Day present. šŸ˜‰ Sunday, again no plans. Maybe brunch somewhere. And I remember my husband saying something about wanting to grill ribs this weekend so that might be on schedule. ---

My wife and I will be racing at our ā€œhome trackā€ at [Nelson Ledges Road Course](http://www.nelsonledges.com/). This will be our first local race (all of our races so far have been in Canada), so weā€™re pretty geeked. She will be racing in the lightweight mini-endurance class and Iā€™ll be doing middleweight mini-endurance. The bike is prefectly tuned for the first time and is faster than a bat outta hell, so we are really looking forward to it šŸ†’ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-doing-this-weekend/360961.md?page=2)
