Hey there. No apologies for lateness. I’ve been busy.Let’s see: Laureen’s in Houston; she wanted to see that new children’s opera “The Little Prince,” but there are no tickets to be found. She went to Houston for the weekend anyway.
My PVR unit’s disk drive had a head crash. For those unfamiliar with geek speak, that’s bad. Very bad.
New “I can’t stop watching this, even though I know it’s destroying my brain cells” TV Show: The New TNN’s Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. I’ll write something up about this later.
We have a new waterpark less than a mile from my house. It’s called Hawaiian Falls. I haven’t yet gone to it, but it sure beats the drive to Hurricane Harbor. It’s almost reminiscent of the old White Water that used to be at Shiloh and 635 before they filled the pipes with concrete and tore everything down.
Something cool yet scary: People with too much time on their hands.
Rice just lost game two of the College World Series championship. That means there’ll be a game 3 tomorrow night at 6 p.m. on ESPN. Go you stinkin’ Rice Owls, go.
What I’ve been doing this weekend: mostly watching TV, prepping for our church service, thinking about doing some quote-unquote real work.
It always seemed to me that saying “Penny for your thoughts” was way off the pay scale.
It looks like we’re going on vacation some time in July. We’re pretty sure it’s going to be a cruise, but we’ve been pretty sure about a lot of things before. With the D3 passes (independent children of American Airlines employees) completely unusable due to the economy, it’s going to cost a little bit. But frankly, we need and deserve a vacation right now.
Scattershot. Until next time.
Hey Kev,
You might look at cruising out of Galveston. You can drive down there and not have to worry about airfares. They run some good deals.
We did. Unfortunately, this time of year is the highest prices for all cruises, even out of Galveston. $649 per person for a 5 night stay is a little bit too rich for my blood.
