Ahhh...The Sweet Embrace Of The Weekend

This was a great weekend. Friday we went to dinner to celebrate my beautiful wife’s birthday. We went with a few friends, supposed to be several friends, but that is what happens on Friday nights. We were also supposed to go to a haunted house, The Haunted Forest, but they do not open until the 24th. Errrr…Oh well, what are you going to do? It was Denny’s with our friend Vicki, the one that performed the marriage of my best friend Mr. Me and my cousin, and her husband. It was fun to just sit back and relax and have a good meal with friends.

The next day it was up early, about 6:30 or so, and off to help my Mom and Dad with the Boy Scout Jamborall (man this is a hard word to spell). For those of you who don’t know, I grew up in a very Scouting family. I learned a lot of cool outdoor and camping stuff and got to build really wicked fires (more about my Scouting excursion at a later time). My parents were very happy I was able to come and help them, and my nephew was doubly excited to spend the day with me. One of the main entertainment points of a Jamborall is trading. There are about 22 districts and each one was given a different pin. You take your 22 pins, all the same, and go around and trade for all of the other pins. Once you have them all, they combine to form one giant pin. It was pretty fun and the pins looked really great.

After that it was time for my niece’s birthday party, remember September is like a super birthday explosion. We then took off to Trolley Square for dinner, this time just my wife and me. We were supposed to go to Rodizio Grill, an awesome Brazilian style restaurant that is like a traveling buffet. Alas, it was not meant to be. We waited almost an hour, after being told it would only be a 20 to 25 minute wait, and each time we checked back it was another 15 minutes. NO FOOD FOR YOU, ONE DAY!!! I was very upset, and unfortunately ruined the rest of the night. I want to apologize to my wife for being such a freak. We went to The Old Spaghetti Factory instead. It was not bad and I have nothing against this restaurant, it is just that the excitement was building for Rodizio Grill. It was pretty late at night and my wife had to work, so we ate in a hurry and went home. My smart moves continued and I managed to make my wife even madder when we got home. Stupid restaurant not being open!

It was also a bad football week. The Chiefs lost to Carolina, I told you they would be good, and are now 0-2. There are still a lot of games left in the season. I have faith, they will prevail. My Fantasy team did not fair too much better. I was down by almost 40 points the whole game, but thanks to some great play by a few key players I pulled to within 21, still a pretty big margin, but it at least gives me some day light. The rest of the weekend was spent watching football and cleaning a bit. That is all Hippies!
