Weekend Update

November 9th, 2009 § Leave a Comment

Friday night the wife and I joined some friends for some good food and a bad movie.  The food, carne asada, was good and the movie, Pocket Ninjas, was especially bad.  When you reuse footage over and over to make up an 80 minute movie, odds are you don’t have much of a story to tell.
 
Saturday we went to the memorial service for the mother/grandmother of some good friends. It was a great celebration of her life. 
 
Saturday night Erin and I went to dinner with Erin’s brother and his wife. We ate at Electric Lotus and then, on a whim, went up to the Griffith Park Observatory. It was a nice evening, and we got to see some cool stuff at the observatory.
 
Sunday morning I taught the Jr. High class and then Erin and I snuck out of church a little early to surprise my parents, grandparents and family at their church. They were quite surprised.  We had a nice day with my family and attempted to get something accomplished on my never ending mustang project but fell short of making any progress.

Friday Night Erin and I went out with a group of friends to see The Widows play at El Cid. It was a lot of fun, and they put on a great show. I’ve been hooked since they came and played at my church’s Grace Café event. Unfortunately, on our way to meet our friends that night the check engine light came on in my car, so it’s out of commission for a little while.

Saturday I helped some friends move furniture, diagnosed the issue with my car, and headed over to the church to prepare for our Fall Family Festival. This year, for the first time, we added a haunted house to the festivities. I wouldn’t really have called it that scary, but we did make a little girl cry, and a bunch of people scream. I spent my Halloween evening scaring kids, what did you do?

Sunday morning Erin and I rose early to take her parents to the airport for their cruise. They’ll be gone for most of the month. After that, I prepared to teach the Jr. High class at church. It’s the first time I’ve taught since I stepped down from the Youth Minister position almost a year ago. Don’t tell anyone, but I had a good time with the kids and look forward to the rest of the month.

Sunday afternoon I spent some time with my small group, and then the rest of the evening at home with the wife. It was a pretty quiet evening.

And that was pretty much my weekend, except for one small thing. Erin and I got two new (one new, and one new to us) computers. We are now the proud owners of a MacBook and an eMac. It’s exciting to have new technology in the house to play around with.

Friday night Erin and I had dinner with her parents, brother and sister in-law, and our good friends. It was a marathon of a dinner. We closed the place out. Hadn't done that for a while.

Saturday we worked on cleaning Erin's parent's attic. We took three cars worth of cardboard boxes to the recycle center. That's when I got to drive the beauty in the picture above. It's a Hydrogen Fuel Cell car and it costs about a million dollars to build. They're still perfecting the technology… and the cost to produce the vehicle.
 
Saturday night we went with the family to Burroughs on Broadway at John Burroughs High School in Burbank.  I love going to the choir shows there.  It's always a lot of fun. And, it's amazing how talented the performers are.
 
Sunday was church, a nap, and preparations for this coming Saturday's Fall Family Festival. It should be a good time.  Come on out to the Glendale Church of Christ this Saturday at 7pm if you're looking for something to do.

Friday night the wife and I went and saw Where the Wild Things Are. It was dark, haunting, moving and simply amazing. I loved it. Go see it.

Saturday I spent the morning helping a friend with a project for his soon to be born son's room.

Saturday evening Erin and I went to dinner with her parents.

Sunday was consumed with church, an afternoon nap, and a disappointing Dodger game.

Monday I didn't have to go to work, so I got some good yard work done in the morning and did laundry all afternoon. The evening was spent watching an even more disappointing Dodger game.

*The image of the rose was taken during my gardening time on Monday.

Where Am I?
