Father, my last blog was a few days ago. I resolve to post more often in the future. (Can you tell I was raised Catholic?)
I guess nothing monumental has been going on. Work has been very crazy. KU's win was a GREAT thing for the state of Kansas, but as I've lamented in the past, it's a pain to deal with something that big when you're in the newspaper business. Our sports folks have been doing a great job, and we will be having a special commemorative KU section in this Sunday's paper. Along with that, we've been selling T-shirts and posters since Tuesday at noon. Needless to say, it's been a madhouse! I heard tonight that Bill Self has agreed to a long-term KU contract. YIPPEE!
I'm taking a much-needed day of vacation tomorrow. I plan on sleeping in a bit, but other than that I want to RELAX! Corby and I have reservations for SUMO tomorrow night.
He's never been there, and I was so impressed when I went there about a month ago that I definitely wanted to go back. Since tomorrow is payday - we're gonna spend some of that hard-earned money!
I am currently reading Dead Time by Stephen White. He's one of my favorite authors. I'm about a third of the way through, and it looks like another winner!
Current music? Some CD's I just picked up: The Very Best of Jackson Browne, The Very Best of Crowded House, One Republic (new & great!), Don Henley-Building the Perfect Beast, Crosby Stills Nash & Young-Looking Forward, Grand Funk Railroad's Greatest Hits, and America-The Definitive Pop Collection. I love it when my record club has a great sale!
And a quote since it's been awhile:
"It's a special bond that spans the years
through laughter, worry, smiles and tears,
a sense of trust that can't be broken,
a depth of love sometimes unspoken,
a lifelong friendship built on sharing,
hugs and kisses, warmth and caring,
parent and child, their hears as one -
a link that can never be undone."
