With all the recent blogs on capital punishment, euthanasia, and such, I thought I’d post something with fluff. Here’s what I did this weekend.
Friday I went out with work people to have a going away gathering for three people on my team (including me). My last day isn’t until this coming Friday, but we scheduled it early because one of the other guys had his last day this past Friday.
Saturday I didn’t do a whole lot during the day. I played around with my new laptop and my new wi-fi zone. I discovered that I can sit on my benches at the back of my property and still get a decent signal to move around on the internet. That is far better than I expected it to work.
Saturday night I had some guys over for card night. As usual we played no-limit hold ‘em. I invited a new guy to play with us. He turned out be much better than he let on. I won the first hand pretty soundly. I didn’t win again for about 1 ½ hours, and not for another hour after that. I won exactly three hands and bought in three times (after the initial buy-in). It was ugly.
Sunday, I did the church thing of course. We found out that one of pastors (the one with the longest tenure) has turned in his resignation. I was pretty surprised. I couldn’t help but think that there may have been more behind it than what people are saying. I really hope there isn’t anything more, but I can’t help thinking that way.
After church I stopped at Home Depot to get lawn bags. Those things are expensive. But, I desperately needed to clean up my lawn. I decided to stop in at Linen’s and Thing's to pick up a couple of things I needed. I came a across a fire pit that they were selling. I’ve been toying with this idea ever since Chris put the bug in my ear. Anyway, this thing was exactly what I had in mind, and was a pretty good price. So I had to buy it. It went together pretty easily. It’s basically a cast iron bowl (about 30 inches diameter), on a small stand. The bowl is quite heavy, but it looks cool. That is going to be a nice place to hang-out on summer evenings.
That’s about it. That was my weekend. I did watch some of the Tigers games, and little bit of the Twins/White Sox game yesterday. Nothing to terribly exciting, but a good weekend in all.

Gee, you couldn't even mention the fact that you talked to me on Sunday evening? Talk about making a person feel bad, I couldn't even make it onto a "fluff" list.
Yes, Kim, it was Pastor Heuser that announced his resignation in church on Sunday. They said that he felt he was being called in different areas away from St John.
Sorry Derek, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Would it help if I said our conversation was more meanigful than fluff, more significant than those other things I mentioned, more...yeah, anyway.
Apology accepted. You know, you really should document the fact that at this point in time, the Tigers have an identical record to the Yankees. Of course, then I'd have to bring up the fact that they had a chance to actually get above .500, only to have the opportunity blown by BOTH of your closers.
