Went shooting last night

After a huge, rather extravagant Costco run, I went with an old friend to the range. It was fun.

I prefer hand guns anymore. Got to shoot another WWII German sub machine gun. Some guy had one. I wanted to shoot the M-16, but oh well.

It's been a good week. At work and at play. Well, Tuesday could have been better I suppose. I knew I'd regret going to institute. But I figure I almost always do for some reason or another. I'm glad i went though for other reasons of course.

Great way to end the day

I lost money on that bet!

I thought it was funny that I yelled this as I ran back to the Archives metro stop. There was a serious miscomuunication on the meeting place. I figured the Navy band/Sea Chanters concert would be canceled due to the occasional rain, but I wanted to go to the Capitol steps and wait to see if she would show.

I was never given her number. I supose I never took it. (I got her email off the ward web site.) But, I was expecting her to call or have sent an email saying she couldn't make it. Well, about 10 minutes after the concert was supposed to start, the rain threatened to come down again. I got no calls so I walked to the Capitol South metro stop to go home.

On the way, I checked again. To my surprise, I had missed a call. Weird! I called and told her I would run back to Archives.

We got milk shakes at Fudruckers in Chinatown and metrored home. Great conversation.

I thought it was rather funny that I got a chocalate and she got vanilla. It was repersentative on how oppisite we were on many topics.

I just smiled when she said she wanted to go to Africa. She told me that the first time I met her last Tuesday. Had to ask her if she talked to the wheel chair lady.

Long story on the name, wheel chair lady, bu it is an inside joke.

Oh, I forgot to tell about the amazing sceene of a rainbow spanning over the capitol building. That was neet, wish I got a photo of it. Possible somebody did... do a Google search.

It's almost July!

I made it through 1/3 of the summer? Glad I bought that AC. Getting hot again.

This Saturday is one of those days there is so much to be done. I wish i had a clone so I can split up the activities.

I wish I had a clone in general. I'd send him to work... maybe two or three clones. Imagine three pay checks!

I love Welchs

This morning I thought about an Easter dinner, not so long ago, that I was invited to but where I felt I was not so welcome by one person. The second I walked in the door, they were already seated and waiting on us. I brought the drink and it went around the table. The one person whom I sensed didn't want me there said after tasting the drink that "The apple juice tastes bad."

"That's because, " I explained. "It is not apple juice."

I guess they did not read the label. Others also tasted the drink. "What is it then?" Someone else inquired.

"It is White grape juice."

The crowd approved with a sigh.

"With Peach." I concluded somewhat triumphantly.

The sigh became an interested grunt. (Like Tim Taylor). They took another sip.
