I traveled to a friends for a get together to play Catan and stay the night to be in Raleigh in the morning. I went to the coffee shop in the AM for food and caffienne where a large group of fifty and sixty year olds made me feel old with their passionate arguments about movies and the extremely small fontsize on their laptops. Then I went to a free homebrewing class at noon. Then I went to homebrewed Raleigh for food and three hours of homebrew tastings. When I left, I was talking in front of the courthouse with a lady who was having hard times while watching a bridal party taking pictures. Soon, the grooms party came after the bride left and it suddenly started raining. I said goodbye to the lady and gave her the half a soft pretzel I had with me. The grooms party was worried about the rain and looking for a way to get to the church, so we all piled into my truck and got them there. I missed the homebrewers panel, but on the way back I called home and told my mother that I was planning to resign from teaching and making new plans. I'm enjoying a nice beverage now, it has been a surreal day.
