Weekend Update

It's going to be a good weekend; I can tell already. The week began last Monday with absolutely gorgeous weather. Now this doesn't help me out too much when I get to basically just admire it from my office window. Sure the birds were chirping and the wind blew just enough to provide a little natural air conditioning, but none of that makes a bit of difference when you're behind a slab of bricks and drywall. But my positive prediction comes from the fact that even though waves of clouds and rain could be seen on the radar sweeping towards our area to destroy yet another streak of amazing weather just in time for the weekend, it was somehow able to change to allow the majority of the working population to enjoy the outdoors.

It started yesterday with my traditional half-day Fridays. How'd I pull that off? One of the little perks that our office has for coming in from 7 to 5 the rest of the week. Only takes 7 to 11:30 to complete the 40 hours...But I digress. After packing up a few things preparing for an apartment move to Ft. Worth, I joined my family for a nice home-cooked meal and then we headed to Dallas to the Music Hall at Fair Park to see none other than the man who asks the eternal question of "who ARE these people?", Mr. Jerry Seinfeld. Somehow my Dad was able to find seats online that were 3 rows from the stage. I mean, seriously, we were on top of the orchestra pit in removable chairs! Seinfeld is even funnier than I thought, and looks just about the same in person as he does on TV. Great material, so my review of Friday and Jerry is two thumbs up.

This morning I helped my Dad move a few things to a storage building since he's remodeling his shop. In a couple of hours, Matt Giese is coming to the thriving metropolis of Burleson to carpool down to College Station for the AFC reunion and a little Northgate fun to follow.

Sure, it could start raining at any second. Knowing my luck, God probably has my blog under his favorites and may give the D/FW area a little downpour just to keep me honest. Wow, I wonder what kind of DSL speed He gets?

In other news, I will return to the dentist in another week or so after a not-so-positive cleaning and check-up report. Take note of this: be sure you visit the dentist every 6 months and not every 2 years. Otherwise, you can be like me and get in line to have 4 fillings put in. Don't worry, I brush my teeth twice a day, and most often once again after lunch at work. But it seems that without flossing and a little mouthwash, you're vulnerable to plenty of cavity-causing agents. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that TV commercial with a guy walking between someone's teeth as a huge toothbrush sweeps overhead grabbing every piece of food in every crevice. What kind of man walks around in another person's mouth?

All kidding aside, I look forward to the rest of the weekend, and I hope yours is just as great. Grab a frisbee or football and go out to the park with some friends, because the time is quickly approaching that you may be forced to just admire it through a window. Enjoy the weather!
