One long week, a few short nights

We had beautiful weather, temps in the upper 70's low 80's and then today, BAM, out of the blue (well out of the north to be exact) it starts snowing.. yeah friggen snow in MAY.. worse yet ON MAY DAY.. yup, just about had enough.

Softball was canceled due to weather for tonight, and to be honest I couldn't be happier... I really didn't want to play at all today.

We went to see Roger Waters last night and really all i can say is WOW!!! I mean if you are like me and figured that you had missed your chance to see any live Pink Floyd (not playing covers) and had resined to be ok with it, last night was a dream come true. There are so many times and events in my life that seemed to be connected to a lot of Pink Floyd and to be able to hear those sounds coming from a composer and writer of the tunes, is truly a once in a lifetime chance. Unless you see the show multiple times, which we are not. It is hard to describe, so i wont.. but i can just say it was great, exactly what you would have wanted and then some..

I am on my second day of Qdoba. I don't know why but the chicken quesidilla was so good yesterday i had to go back today and get another, and today's is just as good. I love that place.

Alright, this is about all the energy i can muster... here are some other things to read. I will be back in full blogging mode soon, I am sure.. Hang in there.
