Ending a Weekend

Posted Sun Jul 11, 2010 in Ruminations

Well, the weekend is coming to an end. I intended to write this morning, but the morning got away from me in so many ways. In the end, I didn’t get my writing done before Wife rose. We made breakfast and then set up her iPad. By that time it was time to make the blackberry cobbler we planned, get the fire started to grill, and get the cooking done.

I watched a little television this afternoon (we’re working our way through the first season of the X-Files), napped, and then watched Top Shot on History Channel. Although I can’t believe I’m watching a reality show, the shooting problems posed by the producers are interesting. It’s worth watching, although the drama is something I could do without. However, without said drama it wouldn’t be much of a reality show, would it?

Now I think it’s time to write a little in my off-line journal and then call it a day. I’ll probably be up at 0400 in the morning and want to get at least a few hours of sleep. It will be a short week this week because we head for Lubbock next weekend for another week of meetings.

My suspicion is that this is the last big Lubbock trip. Any other trips will be for only one project and that won’t justify a week’s worth of travel. I’ll probably just fly out for a day or two and then fly back home. It’s a little sad to watch the end of something, but there are new beginnings here.
