What I did on my half-day vacation…

As some of you already know, I decided to flex back a half day of the almost two extra workdays that I spent at the office this week.

Of course, life being what it is, I didn’t just go home and sit on my butt. You see, last week the handle on my sliding glass door broke off in Tasha’s hand. Since then, the integrity of the door pull had been deterioriating rapidly so I went to Menards straight from work to replace it.

I actually got a good deal too.. between a gift card and their 17% off paper bag I was able to walk out the door for less than $6. A half hour later I had a sliding glass door in good working order.

Then I did a few other household things that I had to do (changed a few light bulbs, etc) and by then Tasha was home. My lovely wife and I grabbed dinner and then we decided to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey since she hadn’t seen it and I haven’t watched it in about five years.

Around an hour into the film, my phone rang. It was , in from Missouri. He showed up and we quickly abandoned 2001 for pleasant conversation that stretched into the early morning hours. Right after he left for the evening, my cousin called and wanted to play a little guitar, so I had a pretty late night on Friday night.

Karate came early on Saturday morning, that is for sure!
