I'm right over here...

So much for regular blog updates! With the holidays upon us, I've got all sorts of things going on leaving very little time to blog as much as I had in the past. Anyhoo... let's see what's new:

Remember my friend Brian with the #20 Home Depot car? He ran weekend before last at Daytona assisted by Bernie and Bill, my partners in crime back when I was doing time at Intergraph. Anyway, going through the tri-oval on the track the car reached 208 MPH. That's right, TWO HUNDRED EIGHT miles per hour. (That's 334 KPH for my readers using the metric system) Fast no matter how you look at it. Congrats to Brian and the rest of the team for their great season. I wish I could have been there!

Earlier this week, I had that "feeling" you get right before you get sick. I immediately kept myself extra warm, ate chicken soup, lots of juice and rested. It all worked as I'm doing fine here several days later. I'm doing all I can to take care - staying warm, staying away from sick folks and washing my hands frequently. Speaking of sickness, here's a little health nugget I picked up this week: when visiting the Dr's office, bring your OWN PEN to sign in with. That makes complete sense to avoid handling something that every other sick person there has touched! Sure you can get sick other ways but that's one big source you can try and avoid.

I had some excitement Thursday night when Kyle hauled me along to a drumming clinic he was videotaping over in Huntsville. Had a good time and came away with a free Zildjian t-shirt and a drum pedal. I would have rather won one of the snare drums they were also giving away but hey, what I got was better than nothing right?

My weekend is shaping up to be a busy one - been shopping with my sister all morning then have a dinner theater to attend tonight. I play in church tomorrow then have our holiday dinner tomorrow night. Food everywhere. Yum!
