    Today was a lazy day with out too many plans. We slept in a bit, until 8:30am or so. I was up a little earlier and did my Bowflex workout routine while checking emails and listening to The Daily Source Code. The DSC accompanies most of my early morning workouts. Sometimes it’s a little too raunchy for my tastes but Adam is quite informative and generally quite interesting. I know I’ve listened to some music that I normally would never have heard.

    Anyway, after that I took a few pictures of the hoar frost that coated the tree in front of our house. Well, actually it was coating everything in sight, the fence, the neighbor’s tree, the stuff was everywhere. THien it was time for a couple of cups of coffee, some conversation, and a little reading.  After that it was off to do a little birthday shopping. We went off to by Shirley a leather coat and one thing led to another and we ended up buying four leather coats, two for me, and two for Shirley, quite impulsive. Surprisingly, I’ve never owned a leather jacket and now I have two, and one of them is very cool, or is that hot? Perhaps sick? Anyway, I like them.

    We went to see a friend at a local mall and check out a CX-9, wow, what a car. Way more impressive in person that what you see on the TV commercials. But at about $60K it should be pretty nice. Our friend wasn’t there, so after a little window shopping it was off to Starbucks to drop on on another friend. However, the timing was not so good, our friend’s shift didn’t start until later in the day. Back home for a lunch snack and to catch up on posting some photos from a week ago to flickr and blog a couple of things, like this.

    Tonight we’re hanging around the house. I think I’ll go out an pick up a movie and Shirley is busy making pizza. So, a relaxing evening ahead. Great stuff after a busy week.

    See what happens next.

    Last week at church we had a guest speaker, Ted DiBiase, The Million Dollar Man of WWF fame. I was doing sound in the morning so I heard him speak two times and he has a great message. He was also going to speak at an evening service just for men, and I was not really planning on going but I found out that Eric and Scott where involved in the event. Prior to Mr. DiBiase speaking there were several special events, such as revving up a couple of chain saws to put a little “aroma” in the air, a hot dog eating contest, and some feats of strength such as ripping a phone book in two, and breaking bats and bricks. Mr. DiBiase spoke to the men and there was some great praise and worship singing. Top the evening off with a coffee & ice cream for everyone and some WWF video. It was a great evening and of course I was proud to see Eric and Scott’s involvement, they are two great sons.
