Still Alive

My apologies for being away so long. No, I wasn’t off in some deep depression contemplating the meaning of life or the many, many mistakes I have made. I was in Kansas City all week…which makes a deep depression sound like paradise. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is anything really wrong with KC, other than their defense stinks. It is just not my kind of place to live. I will admit that I had two very nice dinners while there this week. They can definitely cook some good BBQ there (Texas BBQ is still my favorite). I never really look forward to visiting KC, but it is part of my job so I make the best of it.

On a brighter note, I am going to the DMB concert this Saturday. I am a DMB fan, as where some of us are actually more like a DMB fanatic. It will be my first concert at Nissan and I am looking forward to it. We are making a day of it. Well as much of a day as we can as I will be waiting on TG to show up at my house in the early afternoon. I am planning on making some sangria and getting a little food for the parking lot festivities. I have been told that getting out of Nissan is a bit of a nightmare, so we plan to hang out after the concert and let the traffic die down some.

I am also playing golf tomorrow morning and before HRH pipes up to say how little I work, you should know that tomorrow is an official holiday for my company. My company decided to give us three Fridays off this summer as free holidays, one each month. Tomorrow is the first one. Nice perk.

Then of course next weekend is the Fourth of July. My friends from NY are coming down on Saturday and staying the weekend. They want to go into DC and see the fireworks. It should be a good weekend as we get four days off and that is a lot of days of drinking. I really need to go to the liquor store.

Nothing like a full social calendar to pull Blue out of the blues. One of the problems with being a wandering gypsy is you have to find new social interaction every time you move. Sometimes it is a little overwhelming. This is also my first move in a long time without a running buddy…someone to share the experience with, even if I had to drag her along, kicking and screaming. I don’t think that I would trade the excitement of exploring new surroundings for the security of staying in one place, but what Sagittarian would?

Have a great weekend all.
