It's been awhile.

Sorry for the long interval between posts. I just haven't had the time to get new posts on here as often as I have had in the past. Lot's going on though. Let's see here, last Friday we had some exceptionally nasty weather come through. Tornados, hail, rain, wind, lightning... the whole gamut of the bad stuff. As far as I can tell, there was no damage to my house although my car has a few "dimples" on it from the hail. Sigh. I'll be getting an extimate to get all that fixed sometime this coming week. I was pretty bummed about that at first (I didn't notice it till this morning) but I'm over it now and just want it repaired.

Anyway, in the midst of the storm - Kyle and I were getting something to eat then meeting up with some friends to head to a concert over in Huntsville. Got over to Leslie's house just in time for the first wave of the weather to hit. Despite the severe weather, we still ended up making light of the situation and had a fun time anyway. The girls tried hidin under the coffee table then moved to the bathroom. I found myself in the tub at one point. Never made it to Huntsville - it was just as well also since the concert was cancelled.

Saturday was busy as I had lots to do around the house in addition to running errands. Eric, Kevin and Jack were coming over later in the day so we could start practicing for an upcoming gig. It's been a few years now since we had practice at my place and having the guys over brought back some good memories of "the old days" - all of us crammed into one room with drums, cymbals, amps and speakers. After about 3 hours of that, we wrapped up and had dinner at Ruby Tuesday.

Stuffed, I headed over to the bowling alley to meet up with some of my fellow MySpacers. I was worn out so I didn't play but I hung out then invited everyone over to hang at my place for the remainder of the evening. Paula, Marlo, Shama, Kyle, Jawana and Shayla all plopped down and watched TV for awhile till I had to end the party at 1:30. That was a long day for me.

A few hours later, at 6:00, I was up again getting ready for church and then packing up my gear since I had drum duty today. Things went relatively smoothly I thought. After playing for 2 services, ate lunch at Guthrie's (my first time there) then headed to the soccer complex to shoot the Duke Vs. Mexico match. I got some great shots but as usual, staying out in the sun for hours takes its toll on me and totally saps my energy. I felt like a slug the rest of the day. Had dinner in Hartselle and finally called it a day.
