Play, Playing, and Projects

 
We continue to have incredible weather.  I guess it is a positive benefit of what same say is "Global Warming".  I know that some of the ski resorts are suffering,but here in Big D I am not hearing anyone complaining.  I know that I am not.  The only complaint I have heard is that it seems to be the higher the temperatures the higher the winds.


The weather is surely helping on some construction projects.  It appears the  In and Out in Garland is getting close to be being done.

I was fortunate to be able to ride outdoors on Friday-Saturday-Sunday and then spun on Monday.  I pretty good run on training and exercise.  

The real highlight of the weekend was attending a concert that benefited Bethesda Young Life, which is Young Life for special needs people.  Playing on behalf of BYL were Bethany Dillon (wife of Shane Dillon of Shane and Shane), Drew & Ellie Holcomb and Christopher Williams. It was a great acoustic set where they each took turns playing.  Shane, also offered up one song which was fantastic.  The highlight might have been having 30 or so special people signing and worshiping.  One other big surprise was running into some old friends Eric and Theresa Davis.

Saturday in addition to riding and the concert was a day of "Elfa" organizing.  We both upgraded out closet situations.  It was amazing how many items we put together and did not have one piece missing or misaligned or faulty.  I wish I could say the same for the Hunter fan we installed on Sunday.  Sure enough after all the hard work was done and we were testing things, we realized that the pull chord for the light kit was faulty.  Oh, how frustrating to find out at 9:30 at night at the end of an hour project.


Friday, we caught the High School Musical "the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee", which very entertaining.  Doug Keffer, seemed to steel the show.  It was fun seeing friends and faculty whom we have not seen in some time.

We ended this fun-filled packed weekend with dinner at Smokes in the old Kessler Park area at the Belmont Hotel.  Very tasty food and a great and unique dining experience.  Unfortunately, the smoky meat is staying with me a little longer than I would like.  We choose ribs and hummus, but the best item we tasted was the Cabrito.
