Other Weekend Thoughts

March 31, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

  • The more I think about it the more I was disappointed with yesterday’s Experience…again nothing terribly bad, just a lot of average stuff.
  • The rest of the weekend though was great!
  • Lisa’s brother, J, and his wife, Faith, were in town from NC.
  • They joined us Friday night over at the church for another awesome Coffeehouse.
  • I hate coffee, so Lisa asked the owner of Heavenly Grounds, the coffee house who caters our events, if she could make up some sort of chocolate drink just for me.
  • As I watched her make it, I realized that basically it was just a very rich glass of chocolate milk, with ice cubes in it and whipped cream on it.
  • Susan named it “The Gilbert”, gave it a special reduced price and it was quite the hit…I drank 2.
  • After getting everything cleaned up and put away, J & Faith followed us home to the new house.  On the way there, I noticed a cop following us.  After following us for a few miles he flipped his lights on. 
  • My first thought was, “Hmmm, I wonder why J is getting pulled over?”  But then after the cop passed him, I thought, “Hmmm, wonder why I’m getting pulled over?”
  • I pull over, the cops pulls over, then J, pulls in behind him.  Which of course causes the cop to have to call for back-up and so by the time it was all said and done, a total of 4 cops were on the scene.
  • Turns out one of the brake lights on Lisa’s car has a short in it and was going in and out. 
  • He didn’t give us a ticket though, so that was good.
  • Saturday I had 2 very productive meetings and then we got together with some friends of our who J also knew for dinner at Red Robin…can’t beat that!
  • Then we came back to the house and Bill and I shot pool.  We discovered a new game in the book called, Pool Golf.  I shot a 96…42 of those strokes came on 1 hole.  It got to be so ridiculous that all I could do was laugh.  Very challenging game though…I can’t wait to try it again.
  • Sunday morning we “made” J, stand outside Circuit City to buy us a Wii.  Normally Lisa and I wouldn’t be able to do this and since Sunday’s are the day they get them in, we thought we’d just be out of luck for awhile…but J came through and stood there for 2 hours on our behalf…thanks J!
  • After the Experience we treated J & Faith to TGI Friday’s…uhh I think he deserved it…and we were joined by Lisa’s sister, her husband and our 2 nephews, along with Andy and Gayle.  A good time was had by all.
  • Andy and I set-up the Wii, Gayle listened to music and Lisa napped the rest of the afternoon away.
  • Last night was CAYA and afterwards we all went to Applebee’s.  Gotta love the quesadilla burger!
  • Yes, if it sounds like I eat out a lot you’d be correct.
  • Yes, I did come home and play Wii.
  • Yes, my arm does hurt.
  • Hey on a serious note, keep Brian Miller’s (lead guitar player on the team) sister down in GA in your prayers.  She was involved in a really serious car accident on Friday night.  She has multiple serious injuries and will be laid up for quite a while.
