Always Something There to Remind Me
Oct. 22nd, 2007 12:10 amPicked up the truck from Garage #2 Friday afternoon, then went to Somerset with Mom&Dad. Humongous dinner with them, a little shopping, then back home.
Saturday morning, Dad struck out for Harrodsburg to take a look at a farm a friend of his bought. Mom and I headed to Lexington for some gift scouting. I think she's picked out a home theater setup for Dad. We hit a few more places before winding up at Half-Price Books, where she bought a small library of books on diabetes management. Nothing so high-minded for me - I bought a slow cooker cookbook and a Star Wars RPG 2nd Edition R&E rulebook (hooray!). Met Dad at Red Robin in Nicholasville. Darn tasty burgers.
Saturday evening? Slack, slack, slack. Finished reading On Call in Hell, a US Navy surgeon's account of his deployment to Fallujah. Rolled eyes up into my head about large amounts of sound and fury signifying not a damn thing (not related to the book or its subject, I mean).
Today, I worked on the finale to a 7th Sea game. Big grocery shopping trip. Saw the Bengals and Cowboys both pull out come-from-behind wins, the Broncos beat the Steelers, and the Red Sox wallop the Indians. The World Series starts Wednesday - Colorado Rockies versus Boston Red Sox.
Started re-reading Eaters of the Dead.
Dozed off and on this afternoon. Not especially sleepy now, and I think I'm going to use this time of insomnia to make another posting about the upcoming Traveller game.
