Happy Friday! I’m rocking out to some throwback music, No Doubt Tragic Kingdom (hello 8th grade!) and prepping some slaw for a get together tomorrow. Also grilling some chicken and tuna steaks, zucchini and mushrooms for dinner. A lovely evening with my fella. Hoping the weather holds off, the clouds look ominous.

We’ve been watching Sandman on Netflix and we are both Neil Gaiman fans, so happy to report it is sooooo good.

Several years ago, it was xmas. My wife, my 3 kids and I were on our way home to Seattle from L.A. when our flight was delayed due to weather in S.F. where our connecting flight was.
We ended up missing our connecting flight (along with 30+ other people) and there was only one other flight to Seattle that night with 7 seats available.
Through pure pluck, moxy and grit, we managed to get 5 of the 7 seats. However, not all together. There was a group of 3 together and a group of 2 together. My wife asked which I would rather have, I opted for the 2 pack in the last row, making the sacrifice. She failed to mention the 3 pack was in first class!!!
We ended up making it home at 2AM the morning after Xmas. We missed the family dinner but we managed to make it home as soon as possible. We ended up opening presents at 2 in the morning and went to bed shortly after.
I tell you this story because I wrote a song about this experience and I am (trying) to finish the recording of it tonight. That’s what I am doing this Friday.
EDIT: And it’s done: You can listen to it here: Music by HoofHearted - #164 by HoofHearted For reals you can!

I took the day off from work and I ended up working on the house today!
I just finished up for the night. Not all drywalled yet but close. Nothing but me on a couch watching tv for the rest of the night

@Cjp Glad to hear your meeting helped a lot!
@Petr Nice work there! You definitely deserve some couch time!
Been moving back and forth between being legitimately productive, catching up on my own stuff, and a little bit of just hanging out. Might do a little online shopping and rock out another half-hour or so on Duolingo. Also might do some sky gazing later if the clouds clear out. There’s a great view of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars past 1am right now.
Over all a pretty good Friday night.

Me too. 10 hours of overtime this week already and I am happily couched in front of the TV. My sober head will hit the pillow soon and enjoy a sober Saturday off tomorrow.

I’m having a delicious frozen pizza (well, it’s baked now 
) on the deck with my fella and my pup. It’s a gorgeous late summer evening with a cool breeze. Spending time with him before he drives to Michigan in the morning for his grandma’s celebration of life. We are telling stories about her. She was quite the lady, loved her!

Quiet night here (as usual). Kiddo finally in bed. I’m still nursing a cold. Annoyed & frustrated beyond words with my hubby and his constant lateness, lack of respect and empty promises. But I digress long story. Repeating story.
Sooner or later he’ll be in and we’ll watch Stranger Things in bed while he burps his beer next to me.
Tomorrow I’ll take little man to library and maybe the market.

Just finished dinner. Was sous-chef to my father making guacamole for Mexican food night. Having a group zoom with some friends from Utah in a little bit to play We’re Not Really Strangers card game and distract me from the stress of some other life things.
My dad rented the second SpongeBob movie for us to watch tonight but it’s going to wait until tomorrow now.

Happy Friday, amigos!! What is everyone up to? I’m doing a bunch of cooking and housework today but the weather is beautiful and I’m taking frequent breaks to sit out on my deck. It will be a lovely evening out there, for sure. Not quite cool enough for a fire in the fire pit though.
