The Weekend Update
My brother headed this way for a trip to KC. He made us Heart Attack Tacos. They were really good, but something that I should probably limit myself to eating twice a year. Mainly because they were fried. The entire taco.
Ada had dance Saturday morning, but we didn’t spend our typical Saturday together. We headed to one store to pick up a gift for her birthday party she was going to in the late afternoon. Then we went home to spend time with my brother.
I went to listen to Ira Glass speak Saturday night. He talked mostly about This American Life and some about journalism in general. He did it well. He told his story rather than gave a lecture. It’s what he does best. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to go see David Sedaris in April. I’d need to grab tickets to that soon.
The other event of the weekend was the sleet and snow that started while I was at Ira Glass. Most people sort of tumbled out of the parking lot rather than drove. I’m not kidding when I say that the entire line of cars in front of me on Crestline slid down towards 15th. It would have helped if any of them knew not to ride their breaks. A few cars were going sideways, and at least two went off the road to avoid hitting others. I just downshifted as soon as I started to slide and managed to make it down without incident or further sliding. Imagine that.
Lastly, I caught the sickness of the kids, or caught something. Combine that with being up with Jay most of Saturday night, I spent a lot of time Sunday in bed. I had one big house chore that I wanted to do today, but I still don’t feel great and didn’t sleep well. I’m going to spend today much the same way, tackling only laundry and dishes. I even have dinner already made.
