The American pastimes: Baseball, BBQ, and housework...

This past weekend we were pretty active (imagine that). Friday we went to a Springfield Cardinals baseball game and got in for free thanks to somebody handing Atalie a pair of tickets they weren't going to use. Springfield whooped the Arkansas Naturals 6-0 and the fireworks after the game, as usual, were pretty cool.


Saturday we got a late start on some of our errands. Target and groceries were our goal before going to a BBQ out at one of my coworkers house down near Boaz, MO. There were a bunch of people from my work there and we all chatted away until pretty late. We spent the night out there and woke up for some breakfast before attempting to head off to church. We got a late start and missed church (tsk, tsk) and decided to make some use of the time we had. Derek has allowed me to store my drumset in his basement (under the condition that he gets to play it every now and then- of course!) so we dropped that off, went to Atalie's work to see if a package got delivered (it didn't) then home to cool off (it was 87F and no AC in the car presently). Then we went off to do laundry, get groceries and finish the night off with filing papers! We're one step closer to getting the office (junk/storage space) organized. Busy weekend for us :)


What did you do this weekend?

not much over the weekend. jet to new york to watch the tigers play. had dinner on fifth ave with the clintons while in ny. took a tour of a nuke sub as we went down the coast to boston. the lobster dinner was a bit disappointing. mom a. did enjoy her fillet mignon. stayed at martha s' -- was quaint sort of bed&brkfst setting. rode half way back home in honda's fuelcell prototype before getting flown med 'copter for abdominal pain. turns out was just too many truffles with the security detail for the fuelcell car..... yawn, kind of boring.

clearly someone needs to resort to some story telling to feel like they can compete with us... :) hehe
