Well, I was hoping to get some "fun" blogging done this weekend, but I just haven't had time. Drove to Redlands yesterday for my step-sister's concert (which was really good). We had dinner with the West Coast 'rents and my step-sister's boyfriend's parents, then hit the concert then Denny's for a sugarfull desert. It was soooo tasty. I also had a great conversation with my step-sister's boyfriend's dad--he has all this very interesting military experience and since I used to be in ROTC (and was almost in the Air Force) I had a good time listening to how he trained to be all sorts of things in the army but missed out on Vietnam by metaphorical inches. Still, he was trained as a commando, paratrooper, and a lot more. He did get a little Republican on me when he told me about this Tom Clany novel he likes that follows a military guy who hooks up with a coke-head ex-hooker, cleans her up and then lets her take him on a tour of her old neighborhood where she is then recognized and killed. He gets shot up, survives, then goes back and kills them all. Stories don't get that much more Republican/conservative than that!
Then, TheDad was nice enough to put TheFiancee and I up in a hotel for the night which was a definite treat. Of course, we had to wake up on the early side to get TheFiancee back in time for a rehearsal. However, the afternoon promises an early sushi dinner when they come to LA to visit us. :D
K, hope everyone's having a good weekend! I'll post more before Monday, hopefully.
