The Weekly Weasel — Week of May 12

If it seems like you just received an issue of the Weekly Weasel, that’s because you did. Time flies, but typically not this fast. We were late last week, but we’re back on track now. Here’s the latest news from the Weasels.

Last Hurrah…for One of Us
When Nate and I road trip to Chapel Hill next week for the World Diplomacy Championship at DixieCon, I’ll be abandoning my wife and sons for four days. Nate is an untamed bachelor. So guess which one of us scheduled a final tune-up at the Red Lion for the night before we leave? I’ll give you a hint: It was Nate.

Help send Nate off with an evening of Dip and Drinks beginning at 6:30 on May 21. But please don’t keep him out too late. It would be nice if he could help with the driving this time…

We need five more to make the game happen. Check out the listing for more information.

Dixie or Bust
So, yah, Nate and I are heading to Chapel Hill. We plan to depart at 8 p.m. on the 22nd and drive straight through. We’ll head back either Sunday night or at the crack of dawn on Monday. Probably the latter.
 

Originally I had planned to drive down with my son Kevin, but the lad has already missed too much school this year, so it looks like he’ll be staying home. I’d fight for his right to Dixie, but one of the buddies he made last year isn’t going, so I’m leaving him behind.
 

Kevin’s loss could be your gain. If you’d like to take his seat in the car, speak up. We wouldn’t mind the company.
