dinnerware and lightsticks

 i went on a meetup walk this evening, it was in bloomington, a place i had done hikes at before. there is a ski jump that one sees on the way to the parking lot. i spoke with various people on the walk, although i was switching because some of them i found to be annoying. a more pleasant topic was when i spoke of the corelle plates and bowls i use, how they have lasted for a while. and the lady i spoke with said it was a 'dinnerware moment'. at the end of the walk was a campfire, and we roasted marshmallows. i did well on both of mine being golden brown and pulling them before they fell into the fire. there was trivia split into some teams, family feud style. and there was prizes given out at the end, i got a light stick. some others got dish rags. i had some chips as well as some cold cuts. there was some kind of dish in a plastic container but i didn't have it when i found out it was spicy. a man who didn't even bring it was trying to explain how it was spicy and i finally said 'you made your point' but i still didn't have any of it. it was nearly 10pm by then, when the park was about to close, so i left. i did plenty before this event. i went to the post office, picked up one order, it was a battlehawks football pennant. i had it in time for the game i started watching just before midday, st. louis beat memphis, 32-17. i went to drop off recycle near the capitol, and the copy store to print some things. then i got a cheeseburger and hash browns at the holiday gas station and went home to watch the game. after the game i got a nut roll out of a vending machine and went to get groceries at aldi. during my walks i found 60 cents.
