THE
INTERREGNUM
Day
4
Sunday, April 1, 2018
It is Easter Sunday
here at the Final Four, which means that we have a play day as we wait for the
Finals tomorrow.
7:07 – Pepster rises.
7:12 – Hopps rises.
7:31 – Sinickal rises.
7:45 – Tony rises.
8:17 – Watching E:60
about a high school senior wrestler whose younger brother cannot walk, at least
until during a 100 plus mile walkathon.
We are all immediately mad at the owner of our house who apparently
forgot to dust properly.
8:27 – While discussing
the amount of cybersecurity attacks that municipalities are facing nowadays,
Sinickal asks Hopps if he sees the reports from his company on how many actual
attacks occur. Hopps disdainfully
responds, “Yeah.” Sinickal replies, “Don’t
answer like I am an idiot; I was just asking a question.” Hopps, “I am in IT.” Sinickal, “Yes, but yesterday you couldn’t
even put in the ESPN Play password!”
9:15 – Breakfast/Coffee
10:33 – Hopps, Sinickal
and Pepster are en route to the golf course.
10:36 – As the song Emotions comes on The Fly, we discuss
the cultural significance of Mariah Carey.
10:49 – Arrive at La
Cantera Resort Course, the former home of the Valero Texas Open through 2009,
immediately prior to its move to TPC, the current location.
11:01 – KT from Austin
(and from Day 1) arrives as our fourth.
We reintroduce her to Hopps. She
remembers him; he doesn’t remember her.
11:08 – Go to purchase
a couple of beers for the cooler on the golf cart. We are told that we must purchase a food item
on the ticket in order to purchase beer, since it is before noon.
11:08:30 – Pepster exclaims
that he, “Forgot he left Florida and went south.”
11:48 – Tee Off. Radio silence during the round.
This course was great,
but incredibly hard. The elevation
changes were ridiculous and the greens were impossible to read. We are played horribly, especially when
compared to Friday. We still had a great
time.
17:03 – We head to
dinner and Pepster notices the lack of cars in the plaza’s parking lot. “I guess Easter closes early in Texas.”
17:05 – Enter Yardhouse.
17:07 – We notice a
local beer on the sandwich board out front named Full Tang IPA and order it
from the bartender. He responds that he,
“has never heard of it.”
17:08 – Hopps inquires
that, “If I order the Alamo beer, will it be the last one I remember?”
17:15 – Sinickal notices
that the women’s championship game is starting.
“It must get dark early in Columbus.”
17:25 – Pepster apologizes
in advance to the bartender for Hopps, and explains that we will be trash
talking each other the entire time, so to be prepared. The bartender thinks this is funny, but doesn’t
quite get the severity with which we will be roasting each other until we
explain that “We crucified Hopps on Friday.”
17:28 – Pepster asks if
the restrooms are in a specific direction and the bartender, answering a
different question from a server, “Yes ma’am.”
17:37 – The boys from
WeMakeItRain come up with an absolutely great business idea that may get off
the ground in 2018l KT is torn between
thinking it is a great idea and being repulsed at being a part of the
conversation.
17:45 – Tony rejoins the crew at Yardhouse.
17:57 – Sinickal relives
his best man speech from Hopps’s wedding about the first time Hopps played
golf. Unless you were at the scramble
tournament where Hopps played that day, you will never get how funny this is.
17:58 – Sinickal,
trying to explain Hopps to KT, just says, “Hopps is a caricature of Hopps.”
18:11 - Onto stories from Pepster’s wedding, which
include the Irish Kevin’s stage and Racecar’s “something blue”, which was a
Chicago Bears garter. Sinickal remarks
that Pepster’s “something blue” must have been “a Florida Gators garter”.
18:17 – Argument over
whether Hopps’s kids are Blasian or Halfapinos.
18:55 – While discussing
our favorite baseball teams, Tony, a Yankee fan, notes that the Red Sox haven’t
been good since 1776,
19:12 – Ogbunbowale for
the win!!!
19:23 – Hopps about the
women’s game, “It is because Notre Dame is God’s University. At least that is what they taught us at
Boston College.”
19:29 – KT heads back
to Austin. We love KT.
19:36 – Due to the
previous conversation, KT, who we now call Lexi Thompson, walks backward out of
the Yardhouse.
19:38 – Hopps switches
to Bud Light because albeit the fact that the Alamo beer was good, “he wants to
remember it”.
20:22 – Sinickal to
Hopps, “Both of you are fixed, right?”
20:24 – New bartender
at Yardhouse and we apologize for Hopps and tell her to not even ask him any
questions, not even something as innocuous as what is your favorite color. Hopps yells, “It’s yellow!”
20:54 – The Live song Lightning Crashes comes on at the
Yardhouse, Pepster mentions how sad this song is, especially the line, “Her
placenta falls to the floor.”
20:55 – Hopps then says
about Pepster, “I don’t think he used the word “placenta” correctly. In fact, he has no kids so he has never used
a placenta correctly.
21:14 – Hopps tells
Sinickal that he will drive. Sinickal
says, “That is not the best idea you have come up with all weekend!”
21:38 – Head to the
Pearl District.
21:46 – Discussion turns
to how ridiculous Hopps’s snoring is.
Hopps on the phone with his wife,
“That is why I race you to bed!”
21:46:15 – Hopps to his
wife, “I love you!:
22:03 – Down on Grayson
is closed.
22:06 – We head to Viva
Taco Land.
22:10 – They have a
Dougie Contest, or should we say, a Dougie No-Contest.
00:19 – Head for home.
00:33 – Go to bed, as
the Finals are tomorrow!
