Summer Saturday

Last night we went out to celebrate Dylan's birthday. We hit the new McDonald's on Wade Hampton per Dylan's pick and then headed out to see G-Force in 3D. I will say that I won't be ordering any more Angus burgers from McDonald's. I was left flat by that choice last night.

G-Force was funny and the 3D pretty good. We had a lot of fun; but, ended up the night with Dylan having a little meltdown. I think camp really made him tired and it took some long conversations with him last night to get him calmed down after his meltdown. The emotionalism started with him sliding across the floor at the movie theatre after the show. He was doing some action hero movies, totally appropriate after watching that movie. He got a little embarrassed and I think that set him off. I hope he sleeps in today...

Today, I am going to Spindale to answer phones for WNCW. The NC legislature cut their budget and that left them 200K in the red and they are having an extra fundraiser week to offset the deficit. I always enjoy that "work".

I got the good news that I am going to see Bruce Springsteen in Greenville after I get back from Africa. My pastor (and brother from another Mother) Cliff bought me a ticket yesterday. We were trying to get free tickets from his buddy who knows someone who works for Bruce. Unfortunately, that was not working out as planned. I think it was "killing" Cliff that Bruce was coming to town and he might miss it! I'm glad it bothered him so much he bought me a ticket too! Glad to be of assistance!

Tomorrow, we are waking early and hitting the highway up to Ohio. We will be there with Tricia's family all week. That's the great thing about my job, I get to work while the family spends time with the folks in Ohio and I don't even have to use my vacation time. Thank you God.

Hope the private blog hasn't been a hassle for you. It was necessary after someone who works at Iatric told one of the consultants I work with about my 1 liner regarding not reading the book I was sent. In all fairness, I have yet to crack the pages and they were overworked and didn't have time to read it then. I have had a conversation with her about my comments and we are much better off now having had that conversation. and clearing the air. I guess I can't have everyone reading my thoughts and ramblings. Some folks just take it the wrong way. Oh well. Move forward. Have a great weekend!

See ya!
