Short Shots

Don't really have one single item for tonight so it is time to throw out a few small items.

The weekend had a couple of highlights. Finally got my haircut. I also had one of those metaphysical abnormalities, where I had at one point in time (a) all the dishes were clean, (b) all of the clothes were washed and put away (except for the ones I had on), and (c) I had a full refrigerator. If you throw in that the carpet was vacuumed, all I needed was a freshly cleaned bathroom and the world probably would have come to an end.

Played a little bit of golf on Saturday. The game is still trying to decide if it wants me back in its life. If it wants me to quit, the weather is going to have to be a lot worse than it is down here. I can tolerate a lot of abuse on the golf course with the beautiful weather we had over the weekend.

For the first time in a few weeks, I didn't go anywhere to listen to music. There was also a light turn-out at my normal Friday night hang out, so the cue for Karaoke was short. I thought I would re-visit the stage. Partly because the planned Duet on Halloween is now attracting a lot of attention, so I thought it would be best to get back up under the lights and hold the mic again before the big night next week. It turns out that my half-octave vocal range has found a bit of a home in "contemporary country." Despite having to follow a guy with a really good rock 'n' roll voice doing AC/DC, I got a pretty good reception with my rendition of Dierks Bently "What was I Thinking?" It is a fun song. most of the patrons, gave me a "we've all had a night like that" type response. Apparently it is hard to go wrong if the song has an Alabama reference in it. If you are curious you can check out the original video (not of me, of Dierks) by clicking the title (hit the back button to return to the blog when you are done) and try to wrap you head around me singing this song. I apologize in advance for that mental image. The video is a homage to the movie "Momento."

My computer at work decided to stop cooperating first thing Monday morning, so I have been a bit disoriented at work with out it. I got it back late this afternoon. Tomorrow begins the long road to getting back to my customized settings.
Congratulations to Guerin Catholic Girls' Soccer Team. What a great run. Keep it up!
