Yeah, We've Got A Nice Little Weekend Planned Out!

My last post was about the "norm." This post is about a weekend that really was the norm, almost. It was completely normal with the exception that A was out of town. She went home for the weekend.

Friday night was, yes, the usual. My work friend and I went to the Friday night spot. We ended up staying until it closed. It was a bit ironic - at about the same time we were taking the first bites of those wonderful cheeseburgers this place serves, we were discussing what a drag it was compared to a typical Friday night. Shortly thereafter an interesting character came up and sat beside us. He ended up being an old timer who was very knowledgeable about classic basketball, which I am not anywhere close to as I'm not a big basketball fan. My friend is though, and they sparked up some great conversation. It turns out the big tall ex-basketball player did a stint in European professional leagues.

Saturday again was the usual. I woke up at around 10:30 and called another friend of mine from work to set up a golf game. We ended up playing a course we'd never played before. I'd heard tons about it and everyone who has played there raves over it. Now I know why. It was one of the best courses around and at an unbeatable price it just won the spot of my "home" golf course. There are ten holes guarded by water and nearly eighty bunkers. It had tight dog legs and lots of uneven lies to get pissed off at from having to hit out of. It was a great course, and I played relatively well.

Saturday night I came home, cooked a pizza, watched some baseball & football, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, and then went to bed. The movie was an excellent idea, very creative. However, it dragged a bit in the middle. But, the beginning and end were exceptional. I gave it a three-star rating.

Sunday (today) I began preparations for moving out of our apartment. I ended up cleaning out my closet and getting tons of clothes I don't wear all packed up. I realized about half way through the ordeal I'm way overdue for a trip to Goodwill. After tiring of the domestic duties I went to a furniture outlet that has all the scratch and dent stuff deeply discounted and looked around for ideas. I grabbed a sweet tea and a bag of chips from nearby Lenny's before coming home and finishing the laundry. Shortly after that A got home and we decided we were hungry. We went to a restaurant named Bonefish. I'd eaten at one of these places in Dallas (I think) a couple of years ago. It was absolutely wonderful. I had the Wolffish and Scampi meal with a glass of Eco Domani Chianti. MMMmmm. A had the same thing but with a very girlie Espresso Martini with Bailey's, not that other chocolate liqueur. We enjoyed our entrees only after our appetizer of fried calamari, which was delicious. It was nice to go to a new spot and we both enjoyed the evening. After dinner we came back to the apartment and watched In Good Company. Another movie from Netflix, we enjoyed it. I give it a three-star rating for it's not so sappy ending as one would expect.

And now the movie is over, A is in bed, and I'm watching SportsCenter while trying to figure out how the hell the Astros are beating the Cards three games to one.
