day 4, sunday...

picture this...
everyday gary gets a little better!
everyday he can sleep a little longer
at a strretch. he even got in the shower
yesterday. that made all the difference.

yesterday afternoon i could clearly sense
that gary was getting restless so i offered
to go out somewhere to grab a bite.
i called my brother tim and asked if
he would like to join us in his maiden
voyage and of course he said "yes".
laurie, his wife, was stuck in st. louis missouri
for a few days with her crew waiting for
additional de-icing equiptment so she just
came straight from the airport to biaggi's.
they really have the best pizza!
it went really well with my murphy goode
cabernet!

today was pretty routine...
got up, prepared a french press, went out
and got the paper, got on the bike,
went to Westwood's 11 o'clock service with
the majority of my family, came home to see that
the viking were sucking....again!
(i said the day was pretty routine, right!?)

so we decided that a movie was in order.
we shuffled through the dvds that his
brother brought up the other day for gary's
recovery period and thought that even
"nacho libre" would be better than watching
the vikings butcher yet another sunday!
my take? they were about dead even...i mean parts
were funny and i enjoyed all the spanish but
if you ever find yourself trying to decide between
"nacho libre" and anything else?...get anything else!
even if you are a westling fan.

got a little snow today...more of a dusting, really.
altho' i acutally heard paul douglas say "a decorative
snowfall" the other day...what's with these guys anyway?
snow is snow. it's either on the ground or falling from the
sky. it's like the chicken and the egg deal...what's
more, a "dusting" or a "coating" my money is on
"coating"....WHO CARES!!!!

what i do know for sure right now about any amount
of snow is that i will be having the pleasure of
removing it myself this winter....gary get's the season off!
