Bachelor life for me
The wife and kid left on a cruise to Mexico with my parents yesterday morning. They left on about 15 hours notice. My parents are frequent ‘cruisers’ and got a call from the cruise line looking to fill a boat leaving Galveston in the morning. I guess they had a lot of cancellations and such because of Hurricane Rita passing so close to Galveston. I think it cost a grand total of about $350 for both my wife and kid to do the cruise. Not a bad deal.
I have a busy week ahead of me anyways so it wasn’t bad timing. I had a Land Rover club meeting last night. I’ve got tickets to the local premiere of Serenity with some friends at which a couple of the stars will appear and do a Q&A. Those are the big tickets in town this week selling for over $100/each on eBay. This weekend I’ve got a British Car Show so I’ve got to get the Defender detailed for that. Detailing the Defender consists of washing down the outside, cleaning the windshield, and hosing out the inside. Looks like I’ve convinced a few other folks in the club to show up too. I hope there’s a better showing than the 3 Landies of last year.
Last night, after my meeting, it did feel funny to come home to an empty house. Too quiet. It does give me a chance to watch the movies I want on our big screen at a volume level that I prefer. I watched one of my favorties, Saving Private Ryan, last night and had pictures shaking on the walls during battle scenes. 🙂
