More of the same

Hockey - both Americans and STARS, DSO, working and no bike riding.  To cold for being outside - at least for this TEXAN.  This is not IN or MI.  No snow Yeah! however.  Took the Ford for a window chip repair this am.  This is the 3rd chip repair on this vehicle.  In all the other cars I've owned these are the first chips I've ever had.  Knocking on wood for no more.  The ins pays for them and no $ changes from my hands except for the ins premiums.  That is about it for now.

Cold

32 Today and SA.  Been misting and cold so no bike riding again.  Did forget to mention the last week the DSO had the Cirque de la Symphonie.  This is the Cirque deLe Solei with the DSO playing music behind the acrobats.  Played the theme from Superman with them flying over the audience and orchestra.  Had the comedian/juggler dancers, etc.  Lots of  familiar music.  Very interesting.  Still hockey, work - all the normal week stuff.

Interesting week

Normal hockey, STARS and Americans, working 3 whole days.  Interesting part was SA went to the theater.  Pegasus Theater puts on a Black and White play each year where the actors/actresses are all dressed in shades of grey as well as grey faces.  Sets all grey.  Kinda Like an old time black & white movie.  One gets use to no color and at the end a lady comes out in a bright red dress for the contrast to give away the door prize. (might have told you about this last year but I like to repeat myself). The title of this years play "Death is a Bad Habit" taking place in the convent of the Sisters of Perpetual Weepiness.  The play is over acted, lots of puns, murders, etc and very funny.  See them every year.  New Year's Eve was calm as us professional drinkers stay home and let the amateurs have the
roads😀.  All until next week.

Another Week

Survived the last week.  Lots of weather as y'all know.  Missed Big R and hit the town east of us but in the same county.  Lots of damage and 11 killed, I think.  Biggest mess was the cars/trucks blown off a bridge on one of the toll roads.  Now we have to put up with rain, cold weather 30's, and snow to the west.  Happy I'm not working today but am getting the stitches out of the Frankenstien operation.  STARS shut out the St. Louis Blues last night. Yeah. Last 2 home games shut-outs  The previous one against the Grey Doves. (Blackhawks). Allen AmericNs doing ok but probable will not have 4 cups in a row.  The Missouri team is doing very well with a coach that started with the Americans and moved the MO last year.   Enuff for now

Frankenstein

or at least that is what I look like.  Had basal cell removed FR and the scar on my forehead is about 2 inches with nice stitches.  Stitches out next MO 12/28.  Every thing is healing well.  Has not stopped the hockey attendance but did stop the bike riding as the MD said no vigorous exercise.  Enuff for now.

On Vacation

or at least it feels like it for night time activities.  Only 3 hockey games this week TU, TH, and SA. GO STARS. Looking forward to nights at home.  Last week was 3 theater performances, 3 hockey games (2-Allen Americans, 1-STARS) and one party of the garden club.  Off to the dentist this am for 6 month check up and then working my normal 3 days. Rest of the time normal?

WHEW!!!

Nice visit in GA the last few days.  Learned some new things, how to count to 100, and musical notes necessary to know before crossing the street.  Ate lots of ice cream/Apple pie 24 hrs per day.  Jacob has a new/old clarinet that both Br. Cassian and I played many years ago-yes it is antique as the previous owners.  Trip back was semi in-eventful but it did take 2 hrs longer than forecast (by Garmin) at the start.  Lots of traffic and I passed more in the "curb" lane than in the"passing" lane.  Cars liked the passing lane at 35mph and the curb lane was 65mph.  IH 10 was shut down - for some reason - no visible accidents when the traffic started moving again.  Added 30 minutes there.  Thought I would run out of gas sitting there.
Even after all that will be headin back next year.
