I took a night off finally.\u00a0 I had stuff scheduled<\/em>, it just didn’t come together.\u00a0 I took a pretty good rain-dousing on my motorcycle on the way home from work and it kind of knocked the energy out of me I think.\u00a0 I was actually walking to the bus stop, ready to just leave my bike downtown for the night, when my trained meteorological eye determined I could make it home before the really hard stuff started.\u00a0 I am now 0-fer in those predictions.\u00a0 Actually I believe I would<\/em> have made it last night, if not for all the construction on Main.\u00a0 For the last few weeks they have been tearing up what little good asphalt remains and pouring decorative concrete cross-walks.\u00a0 This effectively backs up traffic for blocks, as apparently they can’t just do one intersection at a time.\u00a0 I can only imagine the reasoning behind this ridiculous project.\u00a0 They have to be very careful while digging too, so as not to disturb all the pot-holes and steel plates, which I’m sure they have no intention of ever<\/em> fixing.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 Only in KC.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I was about three miles north of home when the driving rain caught me.\u00a0 Ouch.\u00a0 Thank goodness for sunglasses, although a windshield would have been nicer.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 I got home, dried out a bit, and turned on the TV for a night of nothing.\u00a0 Donette was out helping Dakin with a fund-raiser activity, so I seized the opportunity to watch some TV.\u00a0 I fired up Netflix and after a little searching decided on “Best of the Best 2<\/a>.”\u00a0 (Because the first in the series was so good the public demanded a follow-up I guess.)\u00a0 It was a pleasantly dreadful show.\u00a0 I don’t want to be a spoiler, in case you were planning on watching it this weekend, so quit reading now if that’s the case.\u00a0 Basically, “The Team” from episode one has opened a martial arts school.\u00a0 All is hunky-dory,\u00a0 but behind their backs Chris Penn has been doing some underground fights at “The Colosseum” in Vegas.\u00a0 Naturally he comes up against The Bad Guy, who kills him in the ring.\u00a0 The other two Good Guys spend the rest of the movie training out in the desert (always the desert) for the Big Show-Down, as well as trying to coach Good Guy #1’s son through earning his black belt.\u00a0 (Which, oddly, he never does;\u00a0 I think in all the excitement they forgot about it.)\u00a0 Believe it or not, they do eventually come up against the Bad Guy, and kill him.\u00a0 The best part?\u00a0 Bad Guy #2 was none other than Wayne Newton.\u00a0 Awesome.\u00a0 After that I watched Zombieland<\/a>, which was actually remarkably good.\u00a0 Sorta disappointing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
