Enjoying the Weekend...
Working the strange hours that I do, I sure enjoy my weekends. There's nothing like sleeping in...enjoying coffee and the morning paper with Jeanne...taking a nap...taking another nap...and just plain relaxing and re-charging for the coming week.
It was great to visit with Dave Dahl, wife Corrina and sons Clifford and Isaac yesterday at ESPN Zone. The Dahls were visiting from Peoria. Radio news - like many professions - is a pretty small world. I've known Dave - who's News Director at WMBD-AM in Peoria - for several years. Dave works so hard at his job that he sometimes makes the rest of us look like slackers!
The boys seemed to have a great time entertaining themselves, while Mom and Dad visited with Jeanne and me. Clifford - who has inherited Dave's almost photographic memory for detail - can make up and recite baseball play-by-play (complete with sponsors - "This time out brought to you by Bud Light") at the drop of a hat. And, "Baby Eye" found a new friend in our waiter, Michael...and enjoyed pulling - and letting go - of the retractable-line key card attached to Michael's belt.
A good time was had by all!
Today is another day of relaxing, coffee, and naps...to be followed by an early dinner with friends David and Darla Stieper. We'll be meeting up with them after they go to today's Cubs/Sox game.
I cant imagine that any one really cares much about all this stuff...but, I'm having fun writing it, nontheless! : )
