Busy Evening

I'm at a restaurant with numerous other people. I don't really remember who the other people were, and the place was fairly fancy. Upon leaving the place later in the dream, I could see it was a 3 story house type structure, with white tablecloths. It looked fairly expensive. Somebody walked by and one of our group made some comment about her. It was apparently some very witty comment. I believe I made a comment after that, I don't think it was directed at the person who walked by. She stops and comes over to me, though. She begins to tell me how I'm not witty at all and should keep my mouth shut. At first she seems very serious about it, but eventually it is clear that she is joking about. She is a middle aged woman, a bit overweight. She has a jovial air about her. I would guess late 30's to early 40's. She offers a non-alcoholic drink that our table could buy her and I ask what alcoholic drink we could get for her. She answers the question, but I don't remember what drink it was or if it is even a real drink. I think it had tea in the name, but it wasn't a Long Island Iced Tea because I mentioned that I liked those in response. She even rattled off a list of ingredients, but I can't remember those either. I was holding her hand threatening not to let her go when she mentioned her incredible strength and would fling me out of my chair. I opted to release her at that point. We paid our bill, didn't buy her a drink, and left.

Later on, I'm at Jason's parents' house. Jason is there along with his sister and father. I don't recall the activities. But wait, it's not Jason's parents' house at all. It's Michael H's house. Haven't seen him since college, and there for only a short visit. But it's Jason's sister. I'm looking at my watch realizing that there's a Cubs/Braves game that I need to attend later that evening. I'm somewhat shoved out anyway because Jason/Michael (which one is it?) has dinner plans and needs me to leave so he can hang out with his friends. I'm curious as to why I wasn't invited, but I don't really care because I have other plans anyway. But I'm blocked in. I need the latest arrival (some girl I've never seen before) to let me out. I go back in and ask if she can move her car. She agrees and heads outside with me. Now for some reason I could make it out if I wanted to. Her car is still behind me, but there's enough space I could squeeze out. We joke about it and she still moves her car to make it easier. But now I notice the neighbor. It's Brian B. He's living next door. I walk over there and shake hands. We have a short conversation about what new things are going on in our lives and I mention that I need to leave to see the Cubs/Braves game. Remember that car I was driving? It's long forgotten. I'm at a bus stop waiting for a bus to take me to the game. There's a rack of brochures showing bus routes and I look for the one going to Coronado (in San Diego). Apparently it's in my mind that that's the route I need to take. I know I'm in Atlanta going to see the Cubs/Braves, but the last bus ride I took was in San Diego to Coronado, so obviously I'm using that experience for reference. The bus arrives and I realize that I'm taking care of my niece Mary. This is not good. I can't take Mary to the baseball game and I don't even really have the experience to take care of a baby at this point. In a panic I call Sarah and ask where Susan (the mother) is. I explain that I'm on the way to a ballgame and would really like Susan to come get her baby before I get in. Time is of the essence since the game will be starting soon. I'm afraid I don't get a resolution. That's all I remember.
