Weekend Break

I can't thank TJ, phin, Beth and moehawk enough for covering this week. And an extra special thanks to phin for covering the weekend. And not just because it's a good feeling knowing that people will step up for you. That's a great feeling, yes. But let me tell you about the weekend.

When phin responded to my request, he offered to cover the weekend. I almost said thanks, but no thanks. Then my Big Sister (who's 5'4") called.

She and her husband had tickets to see Kenny Chesney in Atlanta that night. But something had developed and they wouldn't be able to make the trip. So she offered the tickets to us.

Well, I'm not a country music fan. I'm quite familiar with it. And I'm not a fan. But the wife is. And she gave an excited "YES!!" and we got the tickets. That's when I wrote phin back and told him I'd take him up on his offer. I finished a couple of quick posts (including the Monday Alliance post) and we got ready to travel.

Well, the trip was, overall, a good trip. But it had its interesting moments. Starting with the road construction and the suicide attempt.
