Vacation Weekend Dilemmas

Being on campus sans regular minyanim is confusing. I'm making both dinner and lunch, but odn't know what times, if any, there will be davenen, or where. Chabad is having davenen at 6:30 tonight, but they're run over, and I odn't think I can keep the hot food hot that long if candlelighting is at 5:11- usually we'd be back to eat around 6:30 or 6:45, and I don't have a crockpot or the like, so...

And in the morning, they may be trying to make an orthodox minyan, but whether or not they'd look askance if I showed up with tallit (considering that it'll be a hodgepodge minyan, and Egal won't be having one) or not, I don't know. IF they would mind, should I suck it up and daven with them, or walk into town and daven at Temple Beth Israel? If the latter, what am I supposed to do about my lunch guests who will then get out of davenen earlier than I will, without considering the walk back home from shul? I should go start cooking, but I'm waiting for zodiacmg to get back to answer some questions/finish discussing meal times.

Invasion

I just had an invasion of small Arabic-speaking children- the 2 from downstairs. They just came on in, and started playing with the computer: luckily they didn't get to anything vital. They're adorable, and I'm fairly sure that they were trying to explain things so I'd understand, but I was only getting the occasional question word or very very basic vocab. It was a slightly anxious experience- they didn't really listen to me, probably since the only word I could use was "laa". But they were adorable, and it was sort of fun anxiety for a bit. And then their mother came to get them, and I was relieved, although they seemed pretty unhappy with being routed from here. Ahh, adventures.
