This One Goes Out To The One I Love, And My Older Brother

For some stupid reason Jenny and I always seem to stay up much too late on Sunday nights to watch “So You Think You Can Dance” on one of our limited cable channels. Neither of us knows anything about dance, and I really don’t think I can dance, but we love to harshly judge the competitors for lack of energy, missed connections and botched lifts. But usually end up regretting our late night decision on Monday morning.

I feel bad today. I had a hard time staying asleep last night as I have been cursed with aches, pains and the inability to breath. Not feeling 100% yesterday, I chocked most of my ailments up to our rafting trip hi-jinks, but I came to work today with raspy voice in tow, and thankfully have already garnered plenty of Monday morning sympathy. Now if only I could take a nap.

The rafting trip was one of the funest of the five years I have attended. With excess rain and snowmelt this year, the river was running quickly and the “rapids” were as good as they probably get. For the first time, I avoided severe sunburn on my shoulders and thankfully stayed inside the raft, despite our guide’s efforts to knock all of us out.

Jenny and I did continue with Veronica Mars and it is growing on us more than we first thought it would. Everyone, especially the guys, look the same, and we are constantly re-watching scenes to pick up subtle details, but each episode draws us in more and more. I have a feeling that by the time we finish this season we will be sufficiently hooked.

Looking forward to more time with family and friends this week as there are only 4 ½ more days until our holidays begin! (But who’s counting?)
Plenty to do in the mean time.

Don’t take any wooden nickels.

As Always,
