Yesterday was a federal holiday, and I am not required to post anything on holidays.&nbsp; Think of it like your garbage collection;&nbsp; During a week containing a holiday, the entire schedule is pushed back one day.&nbsp; This includes every single facet of my routine, website updates and all.&nbsp; Now, it <i>would<\/i> be a reasonable expectation that, given a weekend with an extra day in it, I would have more content out here.&nbsp; One entire extra day of fun-filled activity.&nbsp; Such is not the case though; I loitered at the library all day, accomplishing nothing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll label our weekend a &#8220;fair.&#8221;&nbsp; We seem to be stuck in a &#8220;boring&#8221; rut.&nbsp; I blame the new TV.&nbsp; Once we get sucked onto the couch and pop a movie in, it kind of sets the tone for the whole weekend.&nbsp; That&#8217;s how we started off Friday; I wanted to do something, but we ended up just watching movies.&nbsp; Apparently not very engaging movies at that; I can&#8217;t even remember what they were.&nbsp; Saturday we at least managed to get out of the house&#8230; I hung out at the gym for a few hours, and then we went shopping.&nbsp; I got my new coat finally&#8230; A Columbia something-or-another from Dick&#8217;s Sports.&nbsp; It&#8217;s not exactly what I had in mind&#8230; Much heavier than what I&#8217;d been looking at.&nbsp; But, it is waterproof and was marked way down, so I altered my criteria a bit.&nbsp; It remains to be seen if I actually wear it on Float Trip, which was the main driver behind a new coat.&nbsp; I&#8217;d hate to wear my spiffy new coat down there and have it smell like a campfire for the rest of the year.&nbsp; Decisions, decisions.&nbsp; After our shopping trip, we picked up Doni&#8217;s nephew Josh and headed back home.&nbsp; He spent the night us, poor kid.&nbsp; Nobody should have to endure our lifestyle.&nbsp; We sat in front of the TV and watched movies, again.&nbsp; All the way up to 9:00 anyway, then I went to bed.&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; I&#8217;d say Sunday was the high point of the weekend as far as entertainment goes.&nbsp; All things being relative, that&#8217;s not saying too much.&nbsp; We took Josh down to the Brooksider and watched the Daytona 500.&nbsp; That says something right there when a car race is the highlight of my weekend.&nbsp; But, gotta take what you can get.&nbsp; Munkirs and Martin headed into the &#8216;hood for the event, and Todd was there for his usual 45 minutes.&nbsp; I actually stayed for the entire race.&nbsp; That paid off, since the last minute or so was actually entertaining.&nbsp; After that, our neighbor had a surprise birthday party at his house (ANOTHER 40th) so we hung out over there for the rest of the evening.&nbsp; Then, blissfully, the weekend ended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do not let the mal-contents out on the message board fool you&#8230; Yesterday was a federal holiday, and I am not required to post anything on holidays.&nbsp;
