* Regular attendee at Action Movie Night ** Lea's 40th birthday party *** Work Social(s) Total days in the spring with social interaction: 69 (75%, a +3.6 percentage point change from spring)
. . . Well! I noted in the spring Spring Social Review that it's not often I break 60 in the list of social rankings, and I had barely gotten to 60 then; this quarter it's 63. This is mostly due to a few different parties I attended, nost notably a couple of work gatherings, and Lea's birthday party on Friday the 13th. Without those particular gatherings, the list would be whittled down to, at most, 49. Funny how just one or two parties can blow this list up—as long as I can clock actual interaction with people, anyway. But as we all know, I am a social butterfly! The most dramatic shift this quarter is the ranking of Barbara's daughter, Beth, splashing into the #3 spot, the highest just about anyone can rank as long as both Shobhit (#1, as usual) and Laney (#2, as usual) are around. Beth was originally going to stay in our guest room for 9 days, that ended up getting stretched to 12, and I have her a Social Review point for all but one of those days. Alexia typically ranks #3, proving she's still a formidable presence on my social calendar—so far, anyway—even after moving from the condo next door to an apartment in Issaquah in May, but got bumped to #4 by Beth. Tracy's position at #5 is pretty standard, although I would say I hung out with her a bit more than usual of late this quarter. Gabby, thanks in large part to us having her and her husband Nick over for dinner in June, got a slot quite unusual for her, at #6. Danielle and Gabriel, though, I slotted both at #7 and #8 even though a few people have more than the 3 points they got each, because in both cases I spent a lot more time with them on each given day we hung out. Rounding out the top 10, then, are Tony even though he has a whopping 6 points as the host of Action Movie Night—but with rather limited direct interaction each night—and then my sister, Gina, ranked higher than some others for the same reason as Danielle and Gabriel: more cumulative time spent with her. I spent a solid seven and a half hours with her (and Beth, and Gina's friend Jennifer, and Jennifer's daughter Grace) at the Washington State Fair yesterday alone, and that was on top of a lunch in Westport last month. In any case, the only people ranked lower than Gina with more points are regular attendees of Action Movie night who I do talk to a bit most of those nights, but not a whole lot. The one person usually ranked high who got knocked down a ton of positions was Karen. We're supposed to have our virtual lunches twice a month, but due to cancellations for various reasons, this summer we only did that twice. That knocked her down to #16, when she's more often in the top 5, or at the very least the top 10. Anyway. Let's get to the who did what with whom where and when!

* Regular attendee at Action Movie Night ** Gabriel & Lea wedding party *** Claudia's Memorial Day Weekend barbecue **** Jeff's retirement party Total days in the spring with social interaction: 66 (71.74%, a +12.36 percentage point change from winter)
. . . Quite a list this quarter! It's not often I break 60 people with whom I in some way socialized with. This is up 46% from the 41 people I had last quarter (winter 20204); and up 11% from spring last year (2023). This was why I used more asterisks than usual, because I wanted a visual shorthand to show how the list grew so much. There were at least three standalone events that included many people I don't typically socialize with: Gabriel and Lea's wedding (all things associated with was what took Gabriel to the unusual heights of the top 10 with 5 points, what with three for the weekend on Lopez Island; the Wedding Rehearsal; and the wedding itself—and then the addition of his and Lea's many other friends and family I am not around often); Claudia's Memorial Day Weekend barbecue, where I chatted with several of her other friends, many of whom I had met at at least one of her other parties); and Jeff's going away party here at work. And all of that is not even to mention Action Movie Night, which has added around 10 regulars to this list ever since Shobhit and I also became regulars; and of course, this quarter covering April and May—my Birth Week. This typically brings in several people who are perennial mainstays of my Birth Week but who I don't often socialize with outside of that, from Lynn and Zephyr to Valerie. I would often include Shauna there, but she had to cancel for the first time this year—as did Danielle, who I hung out with all of one single time in the spring, and I still haven't seen her since she joined Barbara and me for a walk at Greenlake Park in late March. I've even tried calling her a couple of times and can't seem to catch her; I don't know what's going on there, if anything. She actually answered the phone once but she was at work; it surprised me she would even answer there. But she quickly told me we should talk soon, and just before we hung up she said, "Hey—hey. I miss you." So there's that. As for the top of the list, as expected, Shobhit nabbed the #1 spot with 25 points, although Laney is unusually close to him at the #2 spot with 21. Had Shobhit not gotten 6 points in one stretch for the trip to Toronto, Laney may very well have beat him. We'll see how things go over the summer! Certainly the most notable individual addition to this list compared to other recent ones is the return Barbara, who, thanks to us flying her out to Seattle for an Easter Weekend visit, gained six points—and the #3 spot! She didn't even rank that high when I went out to visit her in Louisville in spring 2022, when she ranked #7 with 4 points. But, a longer stay is more economically feasible when she's staying at our place and doesn't have to pay for a hotel, in contrast to when I visit her there (though I still do hope to do that again soon). This visit puts her within striking distance of her own Social Review glory days, when she was reliably ranked #2 every single quarter (again, behind Shobhit)—although back then she'd gain more points than even Laney tends to now. For the time being let's get back to spring, and who did what with whom where and when!
