Lazy Sunday

This has been a great weekend! The guys from my game are the best. They took care of me all weekend. We had too fun, even waiting for the MARTA. (let me explain) One of the guys is totally convinced he's got the worst luck and if anything is gonna go wrong, it will because he's there. So we head to Five Points so I can basically drag the five guys to the World of Coca Cola place. Kind of a neat place, not really what I was expecting. I guess I wanted to see a bottling plant maybe. Anyway, the last area before they herd you into their Coke Shop is the tasting room where you get to taste all the international Coca-Cola products. Let me tell you personally that the Beverly is bitter....very gross aftertaste....and what's up with the sticky floors. (no comment). We head back through Underground Atlanta to the MARTA. We all learned that if there is no one around the train platform...the train just left. (tee hee hee). So we board the train and I kiddingly said to Mr. Optimistic "so what..the train gonna crash or something". About 2 stops from our destination the train stops. The conductor gets on the intercom and states that "due to circumstances beyond her control we couldn't continue to the destination and that busses would be provided to get us there" . At some point she even mentions that they've stopped bus service to where we need to go. Of course we are now believing Mr. Optimistic and his "bad luck" is for real. We trudge through the MARTA station and back up to the street level to wait for busses that never showed. The busses that did stop had no idea what we were talking about. About 30minutes later someone said the trains were running so we followed the herd back down to the platform and waited another 15minutes or so for the train. Finally, headed back to the hotel. I don't think any of us are going to rely on MARTA again.

Last night we sat around and drank way too much beer and gamed. Well, they gamed, I supervised. :) I'm a little tired from the drinking. Been awhile since I had that much. I really don't know how much I had...heh.

That brings me to today. Lazy laaaazy sunday... We did go see Star Wars: Episode III. Good stuff!!

BSG Comes to an end?!

Image
I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

Image
So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
