"Well I always feel this way"

Labor Day weekend was a good weekend. A few interesting tidbits will standout in my mind undoubtedly.

1) We went tubing and jet skiing on Shannon's lake. It's the first time I tubed and the first time I jet-skiid (i can't figure how to spell skeed correctly) since I was a kid on the back of one. And I got to do both with Rogers, which was awesome. Tubing was too much fun, and I can't wait to do it again.

2) My first listen of Ray LaMontagne's song Be Here Now (which opens his new album) left me downright dumbfounded on Saturday after midnight in the dark, alone. A brief review of the album may come later.

3) My family had a 90-year-old magician perform at our Labor Day cookout. Van Drake the Magician, who used to perform for troops during World War II, Gob'd it up for us for a good 45 minutes. Some cool tricks, although most were obvious as he wasn't too slick anymore. Others left me guessing and fascinated.

4) Twister - which was actually pretty fun. Plus it was followed by a cartoon TMNT episode, which was also pretty fun.

What else was grat about Labor Day?

1) Playing with my niece. That kid is very fun.

2) Eating in downtown Anderson park with Lisa. We've always wanted to do that, and now that we've moved away we can check it off the list.

3) Hitting up Hacienda - always a good thing.

4) I was invited to be a "Better-Man" in my the wedding of Joshua David Campbell and Keri Bethlehem Trout. Yea!

A couple things sucked...

1) Lisa got a ticket for speeding, while we were following each other home
2) Lisa has to stay in Anderson tonight...boooo I miss her
3) I have to go get a little work done before going to bed...also booo.

I'm glad I could hang out with most of you this weekend. Keep it real, Eddie Bunker style!
