I was oncall again this weekend, so that consumed the vast majority of my time.\u00a0 Either working, or sitting there waiting for the inevitable work to come.\u00a0 Not as fun as last weekend.\u00a0 I did get down to the Brooksider on Friday and see everybody.\u00a0 That kind of sums up my entertainment for the weekend though…<\/p>\n
Saturday I spent most of the day putting up a new garage door opener.\u00a0 Our old one just up ‘n quit working last week.\u00a0 That is probably a two hour job for most homeowners, but it took me the majority of the day.\u00a0 And, while I was as it, I couldn’t help but notice that our garage door is (literally) falling apart.\u00a0 I guess I never really had a reason to look at it.\u00a0 So, the garage-door-dude is coming tonight.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 After that project, Donette took off for a night out with the girls.\u00a0 They ate, and shopped, and then went to some hotel down on the Plaza that they had price-lined.\u00a0 Who knows what kind of treachery went on from that point;\u00a0 I didn’t ask.\u00a0 Meanwhile, in something of departure from my usual form of entertainment, I trotted up the street to a party at a neighbor’s house.\u00a0 These people (I’d never met them) went around and dropped an invitation in everybody’s mailbox to come over for an open house.\u00a0 How downright gregarious of them.\u00a0 I was not so much interested in seeing the house (although they did do a very nice job on it I must say) as meeting people who would do such an odd thing as inviting over a bunch of strangers.\u00a0 As it turns out, He (whose name I’ve since forgotten…) was a pretty nice guy; generally normal.\u00a0 I never got a chance to meet Her.\u00a0 Anyway, I hung around for several hours and chatted with everybody, and had just a real fine time.\u00a0 Actually, when I looked at my watch on the way home, it had been just under twenty minutes;\u00a0 But it SEEMED<\/strong> like several hours.<\/p>\n Sunday was relatively uneventful.\u00a0 Donette got a new ipod last week… the super-duper new 80 gig model.\u00a0 No lie; 80 gig.\u00a0 That’s as much as our computer.\u00a0 Wacky.\u00a0 Anyway, I took possession of her little four gig hand-me-down, and spent the better part of the morning building my playlists and stuff.\u00a0 I find that iTunes stuff very non-user-friendly for some reason.\u00a0 I got it loaded up pretty well though.\u00a0 Unfortunately, as I start listening to it, I am finding my playlist needs a little fine-tuning.\u00a0 I just kind of went through our music library and added every song I liked.\u00a0 The unfortunate result of this method is that one minute you will be listening to Frank Sinatra, then Staind, then an 80’s tune, then the KC Symphony… you get the idea.\u00a0 It was kind of humorous actually, but there’s also about a 85% chance of severe schizophrenia setting in after a while.\u00a0 After that, I cooked up a big pot of gumbo and watched football all afternoon.\u00a0 Pretty tolerable day.\u00a0 All the stars aligned in my Fantasy Football league and I was vaulted from third to first place;\u00a0 Not too shabby.\u00a0 First in my division anyway… which is luckily a rather weak division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I was oncall again this weekend, so that consumed the vast majority of my time.\u00a0 Either working, or sitting there waiting for the inevitable work to come.\u00a0 Not as fun as last weekend.\u00a0 I did get down to the Brooksider on Friday and see everybody.\u00a0 That kind of sums up my entertainment for the weekend […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
