What an awesome day! (Monday Oct 8, 2012)
It was a great weekend and today was especially memorable. And it will not get the post it deserves because I just want to go to sleep. This morning had quite a few balloons and one that almost landed right next to the house. I’ll post some pics and vids to Facebook. Then, we went…

She was off today, finally. The day started with finding out the balloons did launch after all. And we have a lousy view – little more than dots in the distance. And none of the sites that stream the event work on the PS3 browser anymore (and we don’t own a computer). And, of course,…

Sunday, Sept 30, 2012 – really long day, nice night
She got home from work around 11 last night and had to work a 6a to 6p twelve hour shift today. So we got up at 430 after getting to sleep around 1145. I’ll confess I took a nap. Two, actually. Added up to about an hour and a half. My sleep debt is currently…
